A sweeping critique emerges on Crooks winter campaign against the Sioux and the costly military presence on the Western border.

A 1877 frontier bulletin reports on stock branding debate in Nebraska, mining outlooks in the Black Hills, investigations into mail delivery, and rich quartz leads near Battle Creek and Custer.
