Seventy years after they were made, his Ellis Island pictures are still intensely moving: the newly arrived immigrants caught in all their bewilderment-- uncertain as to whether they will even be admitted to the promised land. How bitterly ironic that this artist and social reformer, after devoting his life to working people, should end up as so many of his subjects did-- on a welfare line. Decades earlier, he had written: "For many years I have followed the procession of child workers winding through a thousand industrial communities from the canneries of Maine to the fields of Texas. I have heard their tragic stories, watched their cramped lives, and seen their fruitless struggles in the industrial game where the odds are all against them." Like Walt Whitman before him, Lewis Hine viewed his work and art as grounded in the fluid movements of everyday lives, of history, the present and the future, expressing with vividness and responsiveness the hope for America revived in a sense of great community, and democracy as a life of free and enriching communion." - Publisher.

From the Dust Jacket: "This moving personal and revelatory memoir [is] published here for the first time since its creation." At the Little Bighorn, Taylor's company and two others, in all 112 men, were put under the command of Major Marcus Reno. This previously unpublished account of the battle details not only Taylor's personal experiences, "but a complete history of the event, providing facts and observations never before revealed." Included are biographies of the Seventh Cavalry's officers, a suggested reading list, and copious annotations by Greg Martin. First printing with "First published in 1996" so stated, and complete number row (10 987654321) on the copyright page. Foreword by Greg Martin. At seventeen, Taylor enlisted in the army in 1872. He was assigned to the Seventh Cavalry and served in Custer's western campaigns from 1873-1876. Under the command of Major Reno, he fought for 36 hours against the Sioux at Little Bighorn. Only a short distance away, Custer's unit was annihilated. Private Taylor and the remnants of his regiments attended the burial of Custer's dead. The memories obsessed him for the rest of his days. "Better pens than mine may tell the story of the Little Bighorn but none will attempt it with a greater personal interest or a more sincere desire to truthfully picture the stirring events, the principal part of which has been and ever will be shrouded with a great veil of mystery, for the last rally and entire destruction of Custer's command on that barren ridge has no parallel in the annals of our Indian Wars." -- William O. Taylor. Jacket praise from Stephen Ambrose: "This book is a must for anyone interested in U. S. Western history. Reading it is like actually serving with Custer before his death. Highly recommended!". First Printing of the First Edition. Hardcover. New/New. xv, 207pp . Great Packaging, Fast Shipping. …
