Partly-printed partial self-contained DS, signed “F. W. Benteen,” two pages attached along their top edge, 8.25 x 7, January 10, 1877. Benteen signs off on a requisition request from Company ‘H’ of the 7th Cavalry. The company requests nine items including trousers, shirts, drawers, stockings, boots, gloves, blankets, and mittens. Benteen signs under the certification which reads, “I certify that the above requisition is correct, and that the articles specified are absolutely requisite for the public service, rendered so by the following circumstances: that they are needed to cloth and equip Co. ‘H’ 7 Cavalry.” Signed at the bottom by Benteen as Captain of the 7th Cavalry, commanding Co. H. A single horizontal fold, a bit of scattered light soiling, small stain at top edge, and a small pinhole to signed page, otherwise fine condition. Four companies of the Fort Rice contingent of the 7th Cavalry accompanied Custer on his Black Hills expedition in 1874. Company H, mentioned in the document, fought in the Battle of the Little Bighorn, and was one of the few companies that survived the encounter. After the Custer force was annihilated, the Lakota and Northern Cheyenne regrouped to attack Reno and Benteen. Reno credited Benteen's leadership with repulsing a severe attack on the portion of the perimeter held by Companies H and M.
