réf. 131661Very Good. A single leaf octavo printed recto only slightly marked with a marginal crease to a top corner; two light horizontal creases where folded for posting; in very good condition. The invitation headed '9th L.H.O.C.A.' 9th Light Horse Old Comrades Association invites members to give a hearty welcome to the old commanding officer Colonel William Henry Scott 1881-1960 who 'will be in Adelaide for a few days this month on a visit to his son'. The date for the event is not given but we suggest some time in the 1920s as Scott 'rose to brigadier in 1929' 'Australian Dictionary of Biography'. Darley writes presumably as president of the association that 'it will be quite informal come along in your working clothes or anyhow you like and you need not get your hair cut for the occasion. If you clean your boots be sure to use NUGGET. Refreshments liquid only will be provided'. The ADB provides the answer to the unasked question: 'Scott contributed items to the "Bulletin" under the pseudonym of "Nugget" an ironic nickname considering his great height'.

Historically significant collection of two original documents recording the expenses for personnel and supplies in the U.S. Army’s stations in the Dakota Territory - Standing Rock Cantonment since 1878 – Fort Yates and Fort Rice on the Upper Missouri River south of Mandan Morton Co. – shortly before and after the Great Sioux Black Hills War of 1876. Both documents were compiled and signed by a U.S. Army career officer and Civil War veteran Lieutenant William Badger. A son of William Badger Sr. the Governor of New Hampshire in 1834-36 he graduated from Dartmouth College in 1848 and worked with several New Hampshire companies Union Manufacturing Co. in Gilmanton Tilton Manufacturing Co. in Tilton &c. During the American Civil War he served in the 4th and later the 9th New Hampshire Volunteer Regiments. In 1866 Badger Jr. was commissioned as a lieutenant in the 6th U.S. Infantry and served with them until his retirement in 1889 See: Babcock E. A War History of the Sixth U.S. Infantry from 1798 to 1903… Kansas City 1903 pp. 107 115 129. During the height of the Sioux Wars in the 1870s Badger served as a quartermaster in several U.S. military posts in the Dakota Territory including Fort Buford and Fort Abraham Lincoln – in the latter when Lt.-Col. George Armstrong Custer’s 1839-1876 7th Cavalry Regiment was stationed there preceding the Battle of the Little Bighorn Fort Life in ‘70’s Recalled// The Fargo Forum. Fargo N.D. 28 July 1929 p. 9. William Badger and Custer were acquainted and the former’s son William Cogswell Badger 1857-1897 then a 19-year-old man “accompanied Lieut. Col. George A. Custer on his expedition into the Black Hills to discover the truth of the rumor of fabulous amounts of gold in the summer of 1874” William C. Badger Pioneer N.D. Man is Dead at Toledo// The Bismarck Tribune January 20 1937 p. 2. In the 1880s William Badger served in Fort Leavenworth Kansas See more about his biography in: Jameson E.O. The Cogswells in America. Boston 184 pp. 207-208; see more. The earlier document was compiled in the Standing Rock Cantonment of the U.S. Army which was renamed Fort Yates in 1878 and is now the headquarters of the federally recognized Standing Rock Sioux Tribe. The “Abstract of Expenditures at the Standing Rock Cantonment” is dated December 1875 about half a year before the Battle of the Little Bighorn which resulted in an overwhelming defeat of the U.S. forces and the death of George Custer. The document lists the vouchers paid to “Citizen Employees” an “Interpreter” and for “Extra Duty Mess” for the total amount of $160168. The second document is a 10-page “Quarterly Return of Quartermaster’s Stores Received Issued and Remaining on Hand at Fort Rice in the Quarter ending on the 31st of December 1878.” Badger records the movement of supplies in over a dozen categories: fuel soft wood forage oats corn hay stationery various paper envelopes ink wax pens quills pencils office tape erasers paper folders rubber bands sandboxes letter press & many others barrack & office furniture clock cooking and heating stoves field desks iron safe ice box lockers pans for frying and baking tables tea kettles &c. means of transportation ambulances army wagons blankets saddle brooms a “ferry boat” horses mules jockey sticks “yawl boat” “bob sledges” &c.; veterinary blacksmiths’ carpenters’ masons’ and bricklayers’ saddlers’ tools miscellaneous tools brass sundial hay forks and scales lifting jack paint brushes rubber fire buckets scythes wood saws &c. machinery belting assistant circular saws gumming machines horse medicines and “stores for expenditure” bolts bridle leather cotton twine harness rings horse shoes nails nuts oars rope rivets tar coal wax black & many others.

An archive of original William Badger’s documents created during his service as a quartermaster in the 6th Infantry in the Dakota Territory is deposited in the special collections of the State Historical Society of North Dakota see more. hardcover

1901réf. 129531Sydney: Angus and Robertson 1901. First Edition. Hardcover. Fair. Sydney Angus and Robertson 1901. Quarto x 64 pages with an illustration plus 8 plates but lacking the colour frontispiece called for by Dornbusch. Modern binder's cloth with the front panel of the original green wrapper printed in red mounted on the front board; text block tide-marked near the head of the spine with the plates a little stained; some discolouration and foxing heavy in places; minor signs of age and use; a decent copy of an absolute rarity. This history of these two cavalry units from their foundation through to the end of the Boer War is 'undoubtedly a regimental record but it is something more - it is an attempt to explain and to some extent combat the unreasoning prejudice which has grown up as a result of the South African campaign against the cavalry arm of the service. On this point Mr. Wilkinson says:- "It is my purpose to show not only that cavalry regiments like the New South Wales Lancers have done equal yeoman service to the Empire in the South African struggle with their comrades in the other branches of the service but that they have done infinitely more as the pioneers of the cavalry movement in Australia to enhance the value of our defence force and to shew the world of what fighting stuff our men are made"' from a review in the 'Daily Telegraph' 12 October 1901. The last 18 pages contain numerous appendices including nominal and casualty rolls. Dornbusch 126; Fielding and O'Neill page 126. Angus and Robertson hardcover
