TELLS OF FAMOUS FIGHT

Gen. E. s. Godfrey, of Crookston,
N. Y, who was first lieutenant and
commanded troop X, United States
cavalry, when it was at Ft. Lincoln.
Bismarck, has written book in which
he discusses the famous Custer mas
sacre, and defends the tatics of Gen.
raj Custer.
General Godfrey was with Benteen's
battalion, which joined Reno shortoly
after his retreat from the bottoms, at
the time Of the Battle of the Little
Big Horn. General Godfrey, who is j
good friend of W. A. Falconer, Of
Bismarck has forwarded some> notes
of his forthcoming book. In 1886 Cen
eral Godfrey, the late H. r. Porter,
Col. Benteen and other officers, to-
gether with Chief Eaul, leader Of
the Sioux, visited the Custer battle
field and Gaul pointed out the route
taken by General Custer with his five
troops after he separated from Reno
Some years later General Godfrey
published an article in the Century
magazine giving q history of the ex-
peultlonary forces under General
Terry, which left old Fl. Lincoln on
May II, 1876, up to and including
'he aght on the Little Big Horn, on
Sunday, June Is, 1876, in which Gus
ter's entire force was wiped out
This article was supplemented by
an article written by General J. B
Fry in which General Fry discredited
Terry's plan of fight. Both Of thes
articles were replied to by General
Hughes, who was on General Terry's
STAN in 1876. in which Hughes charg.
ed General Custer with direct and will
full disobedience of General Terry's
orders. ...
General Godfrey's book will be pub
