🗞️ HARPER'S WEEKLY · August 3, 1867 Complete Issue · New York ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ A historically significant issue on two fronts — four illustrations of General Custer and the Sioux attempting to stampede his horses on the Kansas plains, and a half-page illustration of Black Americans seeking new homes in the North during Reconstruction. Strong content for collectors of Custer and Indian Wars history, and Black Americana. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🎖️ GENERAL CUSTER ON THE PLAINS ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🐎 FULL PAGE — "SIOUX INDIANS ATTEMPTING TO STAMPEDE GENERAL CUSTER'S HORSES" — FOUR ILLUSTRATIONS — WITH A VIEW OF CUSTER A full page of four illustrations documenting Sioux warriors attempting to stampede the horses of General George Armstrong Custer's command on the Kansas plains — including a view of Custer himself. Published in August 1867, this issue captures Custer during his controversial first Kansas campaign, when he was commanding the 7th Cavalry in the summer-long sweep of the southern plains known as the Hancock Expedition. This campaign — marked by frustration, Custer's erratic behavior, and his eventual court-martial and suspension from duty — was a pivotal and tumultuous episode in his career, occurring nine years before his death at the Little Bighorn. A significant and rare piece of Custer primary documentation from early in his Indian Wars career, when he was still largely unknown to the American public as a frontier fighter. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ✊ BLACK AMERICANA — RECONSTRUCTION ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🚶 HALF PAGE — "COLORED EMIGRANTS SEEKING HOMES IN THE NORTH" A half-page illustration of Black Americans emigrating northward seeking new lives and homes — published in August 1867, during the opening phase of Congressional Reconstruction, as formerly enslaved people navigated their first years of freedom and many made the decision to leave the South for the promise of greater opportunity and safety in the North. This is a significant and moving piece of Black Americana and Reconstruction-era migration history — an early document of the Great Migration impulse that would define Black American life for the next century. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📋 CONDITION ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ I photograph every page of every issue so you can inspect the condition closely before purchasing.
