There was good background information in the notes and summaries for the autograph card of Sitting Bull. The information is quite brief and easy to read. It would be interesting to see the actual autograph card. I clicked on the link to Cornell University Library and I could see the record for it, but not the actual autograph cad. I had hoped since it was digitized, it might be visible, but all I see is the record for it.
I also looked up George Armstrong Custer. The materials listed look fascinating! What a great way to find primary resources. Just knowing that such records exist is pretty cool.
Yes, M, ArchiveGrid is a bit of a tease. It's intended for serious researchers who can take field trips, but as you point out, you can learn quite a bit just by reading the descriptions. Thanks for your comments.
