My Army Life and the Fort Phil Kearney Massacre: With an Account of the Celebration of "Wyoming Opened" (Bison Book)
- Used Book in Good Condition
First published in 1910, Frances C. Carringtonâ€™s My Army Life and the Fort Phil Kearney Massacre recounted the authorâ€™s adventures as an army wife on the Great Plains, but also sought to set the record straight on her second husbandâ€™s involvement in the Fetterman fight.
Frances traveled with her first husband, Lt. George Washington Grummond, to Fort Phil Kearney in Wyoming in 1866 where he was killed in the Fetterman incident just a few months later. She eventually married the post commander, Col. Henry B. Carrington, after the death of his first wife, Margaret, who had befriended and cared for Frances during her brief, tragic episode at the frontier post.
Francesâ€™s narrative recalls the wonder and worries of a naive young bride during the fateful days of 1866. From her voyage to Wyoming to her encounters with unfamiliar peoples and strange landscapes, Francesâ€™s vivid prose examines not only the everyday workings of a frontier army post but also the political and social intrigue behind one of the most controversial military defeats in Western history.
