Typescript
of a journal, supposedly by an officer on General George Armstrong Custer's
staff, 7th U.S. Calvary, recounting the Battle of the Washita from
the Osage scouts' reconnaissance to the departure of the Cheyenne prisoners for
Fort Supply. The journal, along with a
discussion of the author's true identity, is published in the Chronicles of
Oklahoma, Vol. 36 (Winter 1958-1959), pages 371-410. The article is by George H. Shirk and is entitled "The Case
of the Plagiarized Journal".
