Some Corrections of Life on the Plains: A General's Critique, Paperback

" General W.B. Hazen] is the best hated man I ever knew." --Ambrose Gwinnett Bierce, American 19^th-century writer

In his book My Life on the Plains (also available from Cosimo Classics), General George Custer criticized not only the Native American peace policies and civilian Indian agents after the Battle of the Washita (1868), but also Brevet Major General William B. Hazen, a special US Indian agent during the Washita campaign.

Hazen disagreed with General Custer and defended his record as a military officer in his pamphlet Some Corrections of "Life on the Plains" in 1874. This rare historic document deserves to be read by students of history and others interested in a fascinating phase of Native American history.
