New York tribune, July 7, 1876 announcing the Custer Massacre to New York and the World, Front page article on the Custer massacre. This is unarguably one of the most important newspapers of the nineteenth century western American genre. With reports taken from Salt Lake City and the Helena (MT) Mountain Herald from July 2 to July 5, a summary article was written. "The Indians poured a murderous fire from all directions. Gen, Custer, his two brothers, his nephew, his brother in law were all killed; not one of his detachment escaped." Custer's Obituary is also inside the paper. The paper itself has stains to the top corners. It is not as bad as most I've seen, in fact- pretty good; and few of these originals still exist today.

Also in this lot is the succeeding week's report "Custer's Last Battle", "Details of the Massacre"; which has a very well-known map of the Little Big Horn battle grounds. This article provides most of the data that was later published by other sources. Date: Location: Montana HWAC# 62156
