    Description

    George Armstrong Custer: His Personal Copies of Printed General Orders. In 1863, General Alfred Pleasonton issued Cavalry Corps, Army of the Potomac, General Orders, No. 51, proclaiming a period of mourning for a hero of Gettysburg, Gen. John Buford. In the second document, General Orders, No. 59, in the Department of Dakota, General Alfred Terry proclaims the organization of a "Middle District" in the Department to be headquartered at Fort Abraham Lincoln. "Lieutenant-Colonel G. A. Custer, 7th Cavalry, is assigned to the command." This item, along with Lots 49012 and 49030, was purchased by Glen Swanson many years ago in an auction of items deaccessioned by the Monroe, Michigan library, at which time they were identified as having come from the Custer family.
    From the Glenwood Swanson Collection.

    We had a wonderful time in New York during the October 2013 Historical Manuscripts auction that featured my mother’s papers collected during her tenure as Martin Luther King, Jr.’s secretary. In fact, the entire experience from beginning to end has been a pleasure.
