A rare opportunity to view a museum quality collection of privately
owned artifacts from the American Civil War and the Indian Wars. If
you’ve attended previous Civil War exhibits at McCord, you will be
amazed at the new relics on display: a musket that belonged to Mountain
Man, Thomas Fitzpatrick who defended the Indian tribes in 1850;
moccasins used in a Ghost Dance by a warrior who fought Custer’s cavalry
at the Battle of Little Big Horn; a flag carried in battle by Union
infantryman Thomas Silence; and items from the Wagon Box Fight and the
Fetterman Massacre (battles fought during Red Cloud’s War). There is
fascinating information on the internet about these and other battles of
the Indian Wars. Docents will be on hand during the exhibit to discuss
the significance of the items, and lectures will be presented by
well-known historian Dr. Ted Karamanski at the evening events.
