Manuscript Revives 1868 69 Frontiersman Campaign Tale
Unpublished notes claim a winter 1868 69 campaign pitted an all star line of Indian fighters against the Cheyenne Commanche and Arapaho, with Gen Kit Carson shaping the plan. Buffalo Bill Cody serves as a scout while Wild Bill Hickok’s role is unclear, and no meeting with Buffalo Bill or Custer is confirmed.
