Although the title page states "[American Reprint]", this seems to be the first separate edition as well as the first American edition, apparently it was published in journal format in England. This American edition includes four supplements: 1. Address before American Association, Boston, 1881 [on religion of Dakota Indians] -- 2. Official report of Fort Phil Kearney massacre -- 3. Casualties of Fort Phil Kearney massacre. (Official) -- 4. Itinerary of expedition of 1866, to open wagon-road to Montana. Graff states of the book, "A valuable gathering of records relating to Carrington's experiences with the Indians of the Western Plains, including the first open publication of the official report on the Fort Phil Kearny Massacre." The maps are "Carrington's outline of Indian operations on the Plains" and a second map showing just the upper Missouri. Dustin 50; Graff 594; Howes C174.
