Gordon, G. A., fl. 1876

Autograph letter signed

Title: to Theophilus Rodenbough re: Indians as skirmishers

"The Indians are the best skirmishers in the world." Gordon says he received orders from Sheridan to join the regiment in Chicago. He says that fighting Indians is hard and dangerous since they are frequently better armed, better shots and better horsemen than his own men.
