Life at the Black Hills A frontier tragedy in Custer
In Custer at the Black Hills the harsh winter drove men into a shared store where a farewell spree led to a fatal shootout. Milligan shot Aleck Shaw, was tried by a local jury and fined after a brief frontier trial. The incident underscores rough frontier justice in the new republic. Also recounted is Lincoln and Stanton meeting in Cincinnati and their future historical partnership.
