Facsimile Reprint of rare 1906 First Edition. x, 45 pp., double column. Illustrated by the author, some of the sketches being modifications from Catlin. Introduction. Limited to 500 copies. Introduction to this printing by Indian Wars scholar and author, John M. Carroll. Eberstadt 133:572 says: "Privately printed in an edition of 40 copies for the author's family and comrades of earlier days. The narrative is a remarkable one. In Judd's first foray, Sully ordered his troopers to decapitate the dead Indians and mount the heads on poles. Naturally enough, these tactics failed to soothe the Sioux, and the horrors of the ensuing campaign---here recorded in day-by-day form---constitute a record of personal experiences seldom excelled as a vivid chronicle of actual Indian warfare in the West." "Judd's diary describes General Sully's cavalry actions against the Santee Sioux in Montana Territory in 1864."--O'Keefe 1260. Fine copy.
