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.
