Beschreibung

Harper & Brothers, New York, 1886. Jacob Piatt Dunn Jr. (1855 1924) was an American historian, journalist, and author. After Dunn returned permanently to Indianapolis in 1884, he resumed his law practice and completed this book Massacres of the Mountains: A History of the Indian Wars of the Far West, 1815 1875 using research he had begun in Colorado. Harper and Row published the book in 1886. Dunn's work helped him earn a master's degree from Earlham College. Relying heavily on government documents, Dunn analyzed the subject in detail, creating the first scholarly look at the subject and a "minor classic" that is "still used and respected" by scholars of American history. The book is very well illustrated and contains a pull-out map showing the Indian Reservations in the United States at that time. This book, 784 pages, is in very good condition. All that keeps this book from being in fine condition is the binding. The front cover is a bit worn and dusty, but the spine is very faded and worn at the top and bottom. The back cover has some slight discoloration. A previous owners name on a white piece of board is pasted on the inside of the front cover. The book itself is very sound and square. The interior of the book is in beautiful condition, not a hint of discoloration anywhere. The pull-out map is in excellent shape as is all the text in the book. An important book in very collectable condition. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 7671a
