I'm hoping to find someone who is familiar with the history of 1870s Indian wars and specifically the "Powder River" campaign and Army general R.S. McKenzie, etc., and who is also familiar with the contents of the library.
I have a large collection of related history in the form of newspaper articles (over 300) and in my uncles 275 page diary, as well as other records, during that period while he was a scout, that i want to submit to the library.
I need someone that i can email attachments to that can then copy and take to the library. unless the library staff is willing to take the time.
obit--
From the Billings (MT) Gazette of April 18, 1923: "Famous Scout Dies Boots On; Lift Kills Him"
Omaha, April 17: Gray-haired old Fred M. ("Lone Star") Hans, former chief scout of General Phil Sheridan, and perhaps the last of the "two gun, cross arm draw" experts, died here Tuesday night with his boots on. But not on a battlefield did death come to him, nor on the wings of a bullet. He was crushed to death in an elevator shaft at the World-Herald plant where he was night watchman. Hans, who had never been beaten on the draw, was credited with killing 20 men, among them 14 Indians. He was the official investigator of the Custer massacre for the war department. Formerly, he was chief special agent of the Northwestern railroad."
In addition to the above obit, I have images of over 30 obituaries for my grand uncle, Fred HANS, from various cities and states.
