Postage will be combined and refund granted if saved . FACTUAL REPRESENTATION NOT RETREAD HISTORY Folks, this history of Fort Abercrombie is of a Fort that was not a fort. Although built in the era of Indian Raids, there seemed to be little apprehension of danger here. Then, news of attacks and massacres of settlers outside the Fort brought settlers streaming to the site for protection. Trouble was, the Army was little more than citizen volunteers – their arms were left over from the Civil War Days except for some howitizers manned by ex-German artillerymen who help save the day. Here is the first issue of the story entitled BLOOD BATH AT RED RIVER By Carleton Mays The final conclusion of the story in another issue yet to be reported. There were many a western story published – the common ones about Cowboys and Indians are listed on Ebay every day but the rarer ones about the massacres of whites at Fort Abercrombie are seldom found. Collectors treasure them and their price guide value rises every day. They are hard to find. I hunt them out because really the better, untold and rarer stories were published in the rest. Here’s one of ‘em. Following my retirement, I have dedicated my remaining hours to indexing the Genealogy of our western heroes. During my research, I discovered that thousands of our kinfolk lay unfound and unrecognized on some book dealer’s shelf gathering dust. Because Old Western History and Memorabilia was printed before computer indexing, I index every item I sell. This complete index will be bound and included in this offering at no additional cost. Humbly, I am trying to keep our history alive. I hope you appreciate the effort. BLOOD BATH AT RED RIVER By Carleton Mays Folks, sooner or later – Genealogists are going to realize that their family kinfolks are laying on some dealer’s dusty shelves. If I can contribute to finding one little name or photo of that long lost ancestor you have been waiting to find, it’s worth all the time I spend. As a tribute to the honor of our American Indians, my indexed listings will include all Indian names mentioned in the story from this time on ANCESTORS INDEXED HEREIN, CIRCA: 1860 era ANCESTOR’S LOCATION: DAKOTA TERRITORY.
