Jamestown’s history began long before its appearance on railroad maps in 1872. Nomadic clans occupied the region thousands of years ago, hunting the icy edges of glaciers for bison. Evidence of mound builders from around 2,000 years ago is found in Stutsman County. Modern tribes claimed the territory, including the Dakota (Sioux), and by the early 1800s, explorers and trappers had encroached upon the region. With the Civil War, the United States began operations to suppress tribal people as pioneers moved west. Uncle Sam’s expansion brought railroaders, adventurers, homesteaders, merchants, and others to the Upper Plains. Images of America: Jamestown introduces a wide assortment of local characters: Anton Klaus, the “father of Jamestown”; Peggy Lee, the feverish singer and bluesy jazz artist; and Louis L’Amour, the prolific writer of Western novels. Discover Jamestown’s rich history and dynamic people, from farmers and newspaperwomen to soldiers and bankers. Longtime residents will enjoy rediscovering places and personalities they may only vaguely remember.

About 175 men born in Ireland, England, Scotland or Wales served with Custer and the Seventh Cavalry. Some perished along the shores of the Little Bighorn River in Montana in the summer of 1876. This book researches the lives of these men as well as explores the times, strategies and weapons of that era. The "Wild Geese" were the young men that left Ireland for armies around the world. They made up the largest contingent of troopers from the United Kingdom. Some of these men perished on that June day while others fought valiantly and survived. Others missed the action for reasons as varied as bad health to bad habits. This book provides background to the battles of the 1876 Montana Campaign as well as information on soldiers, weapons, Native Americans and other pieces of interest in one of the most well known of all Indian War Period battles.
