"First account of the Custer Massacre" giving a list of soldiers killed, also in the book with notes in the edge margin.. Collectible … The Beinfeld Edition is notable for the extensive annotations by Colonel Edward Offley. Colonel Offley was a US Cavalry Sergeant and then Officer who served with many men who had served with Custer. Although Offley was born two years after Little Big Horn, he was born into a military (Cavalry) family and grew up hearing about Custer and later served with veterans of the 7th. Offley obtained a copy of the First Edition of this title and extensively annotated it in blue pen in the margins. He sent the annotated book to the author who was impressed and asked the Colonel to please write a Preface to the Second Edition. Colonel Offley did so and then died two days after completing it. The Second Edtion (this book) includes the original text by Kain, Offley's Preface, and Offley's extensive annotations (printed in blue and designed to look as much like his original handwritten margin annotations and underling as possible). This book attempts to stick to the known facts and avoids legends. It contains what is believed to be the most accurate list of those killed in action at the battle. No previous owner marks. --the blue annotations and underling are meant to be there and were printed by the publisher.
