Still Standing is a fantasy that has been living in Don Solenberger's mind for many years, yearning to be told. Don's mother homesteaded on the Dakota plains and often retold the story of a wagon rolling into town with its passengers suffering from arrow wounds. Don worked for the Connecticut Life Insurance Company, who had as an early president, Jacob Greene, the best man at the wedding of George Armstrong Custer and Elizabeth Bacon. He has had a lifelong fascination with Civil War history. He was intrigued by the life of Custer's widow, who outlived her husband by 54 years. She became a woman entrepreneur, mostly retelling her husband's exploits in books and worldwide lecture tours. Her devotion prompted the thought, "What might have happened to two ambitious lovers had the Battle of the Little Big Horn not separated them?"

This is my story of a situation that on my bike. I hope you like it because it a very hard to write and remember what happened that day.  

Like Most Other Children, Who Should Be My Godfather Is Decided By
Mammon--So Precocious As To Make Some Noise In The World And Be
Hung A Few Days After I Was Born--Cut Down In Time And Produce A
Scene Of Bloodshed--My Early Propensities Fully Developed By The
Choice Of My Profession




Those Who May Be Pleased To Honour These Pages With A Perusal, Will Not
Be Detained With A Long Introductory History Of My Birth, Parentage, And
Education. The Very Title Implies That, At This Period Of My Memoirs, I
Was Ignorant Of The Two First; And It Will Be Necessary For The Due
Development Of My Narrative, That I Allow Them To Remain In The Same
State Of Bliss; For In The Perusal Of A Tale, As Well As In The
Pilgrimage Of Life, Ignorance Of The Future May Truly Be Considered As
The Greatest Source Of Happiness. The Little That Was Known Of Me At
This Time I Will However Narrate As Concisely, And As Correctly, As I Am
Able.

Shewing The Wholesome Uses Drawn From Recording The Achievements
Of Those Wonderful Productions Of Nature Called Great Men.





As It Is Necessary That All Great And Surprising Events, The
Designs Of Which Are Laid, Conducted, And Brought To Perfection By
The Utmost Force Of Human Invention And Art, Should Be Produced By
Great And Eminent Men, So The Lives Of Such May Be Justly And
Properly Styled The Quintessence Of History. In These, When
Delivered To Us By Sensible Writers, We Are Not Only Most
Agreeably Entertained, But Most Usefully Instructed; For, Besides
The Attaining Hence A Consummate Knowledge Of Human Nature In
General; Of Its Secret Springs, Various Windings, And Perplexed
Mazes; We Have Here Before Our Eyes Lively Examples Of Whatever Is
Amiable Or Detestable, Worthy Of Admiration Or Abhorrence, And Are
Consequently Taught, In A Manner Infinitely More Effectual Than By
Precept, What We Are Eagerly To Imitate Or Carefully To Avoid.

But Besides The Two Obvious Advantages Of Surveying, As It Were In
A Picture, The True Beauty Of Virtue And Deformity Of Vice, We May
Moreover Learn From Plutarch, Nepos, Suetonius, And Other
Biographers, This Useful Lesson, Not Too Hastily, Nor In The
Gross, To Bestow Either Our Praise Or Censure; Since We Shall
Often Find Such A Mixture Of Good And Evil In The Same Character
That It May Require A Very Accurate Judgment And A Very Elaborate
Inquiry To Determine On Which Side The Balance Turns, For Though
We Sometimes Meet With An Aristides Or A Brutus, A Lysander Or A
Nero, Yet Far The Greater Number Are Of The Mixt Kind, Neither
Totally Good Nor Bad; Their Greatest Virtues Being Obscured And
Allayed By Their Vices, And Those Again Softened And Coloured Over
By Their Virtues.
