Description - My Army Life and the Fort Phil Kearney Massacre by Frances C. Carrington
Recounts the author's adventures as an army wife on the Great Plains, but also seeks to set the record straight on her second husband's involvement in the Fetterman fight First published in 1910, Frances C. Carrington's My Army Life and the Fort Phil Kearney Massacre recounted the author's adventures as an army wife on the Great Plains, but also sought to set the record straight on her second husband's involvement in the Fetterman fight. As the wife of Lt. George Washington Grummond, Frances traveled with her husband to Fort Phil Kearney in Wyoming in 1866 where he was killed in the Fetterman incident just a few months later. She eventually married the post commander, Col. Henry B. Carrington, after the death of his first wife, Margaret, who had befriended and cared for Frances during her brief, tragic episode at the frontier post.
