It's the annual Custer quiz again.
« on: June 04, 2007, 11:05:32 PM »
I'm struggling.
Who was the photographer who accompanied the famous 1872 Grand Duke Alexis buffalo hunt?
In what year were the last government-issue Indian Wars Campaign badges struck?
My sad quest to complete this damn thing continues. Of the 20 questions, I've got 13 of them. I may be back.

I think the photographer was David Bailey.

If I can be of any more help, just ask.

Well, I tried my 200 books AND google and still couldn't find it. I'm also trying to find the act of Congress that was approved on June 22, 1876. I cant find anything specific to that date but it may have had something to do with the right to bear arms----though I would have thought it would have a more direct relevence to Custer, given the name of the quiz.

I could only find the Indian Appropriations Act of June 22, 1874 so that is two year off.

It was three days before Custer's death, if that helps.

I am SO sorry! the date I should have given you is June 22 , 1866. I got confused with Custer's death in 1876. I apologise for the time you guys have wasted because of my stupidity.

Are you going to kill him, Diane, or shall I?
