I have been enjoying your photos and writing since I found your photo essay on "The Gulch." I certainly appreciate the look to the past that your work exhibits. There always seems to be a touch of melancholy or a twinge of reminiscence. Your black and white photography has certainly made me reexamine subjects that I shoot, and I find myself taking just as many monochromes as colors. Your photos and your words are quite strong standing alone, but together are greater than their sums. Well done. <BR/><BR/>Thank you and Happy New Years.<BR/>Matthew SchuttyMatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14053454119173204091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1676938867252973952.post-48831820275982480812008-01-03T22:45:00.000-08:002008-01-03T22:45:00.000-08:00Martin...

I did not know whether it was fired by Lieutenant Varnum's scouts or one of the hostile Indians. That was the first shot that I heard in the opening of the battle of the Little Big Horn on June 25, 1876, and I had pretty good ears about that time.<BR/><BR/>Private James Turley of my troop when we arrived at the timber and had orders to halt, could not control his horse which carried him towards the Indian camp. That was the last I saw of him. He was a very nice young man. A little incident happened a day our two before we left Fort Rice to go on the expedition. Turley asked me if I would allow him to put some of his property in my clothes chest. I told him that I would with the understanding that if he was killed the contents of the chest would belong to me and if I was killed it would belong to him. After coming back from the expedition the property belonging to those men that were killed was sold at public auction and the proceeds turned over to the paymaster."<BR/><BR/>take care, Michael TurleyMTengrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00594667479312658048noreply@blogger.com
