The General Crosses The Territory
This photo shows cavalry, wagons, and artillery commanded by General George A. Custer. On their fateful journey to the west, the group crossed the Dakota territory. This was probably before Custer’s Last Stand which happened during the Battle of Little Bighorn. The battle occurred in modern-day Montana.

O’Sullivan took this picture of a boat crew at the Diamond Creek, which is along the Colorado River.
