Through Western Eyes on Custer Event and Frontier Days
The narrative recalls a staged Wild West clash near Sheridan with 3,000 Crow participants, a mock battle, and comic mishaps including a flag snatch and a wounded Blue Bead. It traces Frontier Days origins in Cheyenne 1897, Billings Fair parallel, and the enduring rodeo emphasis on horses along with agricultural and industrial exhibits. The piece notes a postwar Navy lease reduction of $18,000,008.
