Eleven Years in the Rocky Mountains and Life on the Frontier (Illustrated Edition)

By: Frances Fuller Victor

Frances Fuller Victor (1826-1902) was an American historian and historical novelist known for her books about the West and especially Oregon history. Both she and her sister Metta Victoria Fuller became well-known for their writing, publishing stories and poems in the Home Journal from an early age, and later progressing to dime novels while living in New York. Following her second marriage, Fuller settled in Portland, Oregon in 1864, where her writing shifted from fiction to regional histories. Over the next 13 years she compiled first-hand accounts of the history of Oregon from territorial leaders such as Joseph Meek, Oliver Applegate and Matthew Deady. When her husband died in 1875 Fuller found herself in financial need and returned to San Francisco to accept a 10-year contract offered by historian Hubert Howe Bancroft, contributing major portions of Bancroft's monumental work, The History of the West, which were, however, published under his name. In 1886 she returned to Oregon where she was commissioned to write a history of the Indian wars entitled The Early Indian Wars of Oregon. This biography of Joseph Meek (1810-75), the trapper, pioneer, mountain man, law enforcement official, and politician in the Oregon Country and later Oregon Territory of the United States, was published in 1877 and also includes A History of the Sioux War, and a Life of Gen. George A. Custer with a Full Account of His Last Battle, with illustrations throughout.

Our Centennial Indian War and the Life of General Custer

By: Frances Fuller Victor

Lieutenant Colonel George A. Custer was widely known as a Civil War figure, author, and successful cavalry leader before his spectacular defeat at the Battle of the Little Bighorn in 1876 by Lakota and Northern Cheyenne Indians. His actions—and those of his troops—would have been of public interest even without their final, bloody outcome. A ready audience of readers was hungry for information about the engagement and about their fallen hero when Frances Fuller Victor's book appeared in spring 1877. Published even before the Great Sioux War had ended, Our Centennial Indian War and the Life of General Custer was the first contemporary and comprehensive account of the successive army operations in 1876 and early 1877. It was a major accomplishment. Victor drew information from a wide range of sources—including personal letters, war correspondents' dispatches, and government documents—to explain the lengthy, disjointed struggle between the army and the Lakota-Cheyenne coalition. She also offered one of the earliest biographical assessments of Custer, its most noted military participant. Compared to other period writings, Victor's narrative is smooth and dispassionate, devoid of conjecture and judgment. In addition, her account contains rare Indian perspectives on the Little Bighorn battle, including Lakota testimony that has not previously appeared elsewhere. Featuring an introduction by historian Jerome A. Greene, this edition of Our Centennial Indian War provides a remarkable window into contemporary thinking about an iconic event
