The country is so young and so much has changed.

The person who donated this diary probably had many conversations with the man who wrote it.

Better that it remain in Wyoming where it has been instead of a DC museum where it could be in danger one day of being white racism aggressive and destroyed like all the statues there.

Interesting article. Wife and I visited the battlefield in 1977 exactly 100 years after Forsyth’s visit. Still rugged country. Later on a fire swept through the area revealing many previously hidden .44 Henry rimfire cartridge cases used by the Indians. So the 7th Cavalry’s single shot Springfield 45-70 rifles and carbines were no match for the Indian’s repeating lever action Henry rifles.

Great story! Thanks for posting.

My wife had relatives that lived in Thermop for years. This diary deserves to stay there.

The beautiful mountains and peaks had given a battle-weary soldier time to pause and breathe in the fresh air as he swatted away the mosquitoes and lamented that Gen. Crook has once more out-fished him.

And gave him and his pals the opportunity to kill everything in sight, apparently...

I just finished reading “Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee,” so I’d love to get my hands on this journal. What a document!
