Old Western Reserve Historical Society label states it was donated by the Interior Dept., Washington, D.C. in 1894. Substantial content relating to Indian affairs, including highly detailed reports by Sheridan, Terry, Reno, Benteen, Crook, Miles, and others on the movements and campaign which resulted in Custer's annihilation at Little Big Horn.
