First published in 1910, Frances C. Carrington?s My Army Life and the Fort Phil Kearney Massacre recounted the author?s adventures as an army wife on the Great Plains, but also sought to set the record straight on her second husband?s involvement in the Fetterman fight. Frances traveled with her first husband, Lt. George Washington Grummond, to Fort Phil Kearney in Wyoming in 1866 where he was killed in the Fetterman incident just a few months later. She eventually married the post commander, Col. Henry B. Carrington, after the death of his first wife, Margaret, who had befriended and cared for Frances during her brief, tragic episode at the frontier post. Frances?s narrative recalls the wonder and worries of a naive young bride during the fateful days of 1866. From her voyage to Wyoming to her encounters with unfamiliar peoples and strange landscapes, Frances?s vivid prose examines not only the everyday workings of a frontier army post but also the political and social intrigue behind one of the most controversial military defeats in Western history.

"[Carrington's] descriptions of Western army life are illuminating, earthy and remarkable with keen observations. . . . An intriguing and informative read." -- True West Magazine The West was not just settled by men with rifles and revolvers alone. Indeed, as the army divisions moved west to protect the westward trails, they frequently brought their wives and families with them. Frances C. Carrington had been married to Lt. George Washington Grummond for little more than a year when she was stationed with her husband in Fort Phil Kearny. She was three months pregnant when she arrived and within another two months she would be a widow. Fort Phil Kearny had been built to protect the Bozeman Trail, but from the moment it was constructed the soldiers and settlers had been harassed by Chief Red Cloud and his coalition of Lakota, Cheyenne and Arapaho Indians. Captain William J. Fetterman led a resistance to these attacks, but the Native Americans organized an ambush and killed all eight-one men. This was the worst defeat the U. S. Army suffered during the Indian Wars at that time, and Frances C. Carrington lost her husband on that day. Alone and with little protection she and the other survivors in Fort Kearny did not give up but instead continued to survive in the perilous conditions until reinforcements arrived. My Army Life and the Fort Phil Kearney Massacre is a fascinating work that tells the story of frontier life, not from the perspective of a soldier or frontiersman, but instead from the perspective of a woman who saw and experienced some of the most brutal events of the American West. "Carrington's book is a riveting portrait of life at a frontier post in dangerous territory, as well as a snapshot of Victorian mores and the lingering influence of the Civil War. . . . It is a necessary addition to other material on Fort Phil Kearny, the Fetterman Massacre, and the Bozeman Trail." -- Roundup Magazine After the loss of her first husband Frances went on to marry Colonel Henry B. Carrington. She wrote My Army Life and the Fort Phil Kearney Massacre forty years after the fort was abandoned and it was first published in 1910. Carrington passed away in 1911.

Since the shocking news first broke in 1876 of the Seventh Cavalry’s disastrous defeat at the Little Big Horn, fascination with the battle—and with Lieutenant George Armstrong Custer—has never ceased. Widespread interest in the subject has spawned a vast outpouring of literature, which only increases with time. This two-volume bibliography of Custer literature is the first to be published in some twenty-five years and the most complete ever assembled. Drawing on years of research, Michael O’Keefe has compiled entries for roughly 3,000 books and 7,000 articles and pamphlets. Covering both nonfiction and fiction (but not juvenile literature), the bibliography focuses on events beginning with Custer’s tenure at West Point during the 1850s and ending with the massacre at Wounded Knee in 1890. Included within this span are Custer’s experiences in the Civil War and in Texas, the 1873 Yellowstone and 1874 Black Hills expeditions, the Great Sioux War of 1876–77, and the Seventh Cavalry’s pursuit of the Nez Perces in 1877. The literature on Custer, the Battle of the Little Big Horn, and the Seventh Cavalry touches the entire American saga of exploration, conflict, and settlement in the West, including virtually all Plains Indian tribes, the frontier army, railroading, mining, and trading. Hence this bibliography will be a valuable resource for a broad audience of historians, librarians, collectors, and Custer enthusiasts.
