"[General W.B. Hazen] is the best hated man I ever knew." --Ambrose Gwinnett Bierce, American 19th-century writer

In his book My Life on the Plains (also available from Cosimo Classics), General George Custer criticized not only the Native American peace policies and civilian Indian agents after the Battle of the Washita (1868), but also Brevet Major General William B. Hazen, a special US Indian agent during the Washita campaign.

Hazen disagreed with General Custer and defended his record as a military officer in his pamphlet Some Corrections of "Life on the Plains" in 1874. This rare historic document deserves to be read by students of history and others interested in a fascinating phase of Native American history.

Hazen, William Babcock: - WILLIAM BABCOCK HAZEN (1830-1887), a career United States Army officer in the Indian Wars, a Union general in the American Civil War, and Chief Signal Officer of the US Army, was no stranger to controversy. He often criticized other senior officers and politicians, including Secretary of War Robert T. Lincoln for his handling of the rescue of the International Polar Year Expedition. This resulted in Hazen being court-martialed in 1885 with a mild reprimand from President Chester A. Arthur, while the newspapers supported Hazen against Secretary Lincoln.
