This is a journal kept by Lieutenant James H. Bradley of the Seventh Infantry, which records in considerable detail the major incidents of the march of the Montana Column, under the command of Colonel John Gibbon, from Fort Shaw to Fort Ellis to participate in the Sioux campaign of 1876. Bradley was engaged in putting his journal into shape from field when he was called to fight another Indian campaign, agains Chief Joseph of the Nez Perces, from which he never returned. So, as not to leave an unfinished story, a letter written by Bradley describing the finding of the bodies of Custer's commanded, is appended to the Journal.
