George P. Belden was born in New Philadelphia, Ohio in 1844. He ran away from his Ohio home sometime between 1855 and 1857, and settled in Brownville, Nebraska Territory. During the Civil War, Belden served in the 1st Nebraska Infantry, the 1st Nebraska Veteran Cavalry Volunteers, and the 2nd Nebraska Cavalry, rising to the rank of 2nd Lieutenant. He later received a Lieutenant's commission in the regular army and held assignments at Ft. Phil Kearney, Dakota Territory, Ft. D.A. Russell, Wyoming Territory and Ft. McPherson, Nebraska Territory. He was court-martialed in 1869 and cashiered on November 4, 1869. He died in 1871, either the murder victim of an Unkpapa Sioux or of a half-breed with whom he had quarreled.
This is an 1871 edition. It has bindery issues with some separation and several scuffs and bumps on the cover boards. There appears to be some water damage and foxing. Please see photos for more detail and condition.
