Beschreibung

SIGNED 5th printing of important, early western history; In green cloth with gilt Indian on cover with black and gilt horizontal stripes as earlier printings; signed by Carrington on 2nd free endpaper on Nov. 13, 1878, frontispiece illustration + 14 other illustrations (listed), 2 maps - 1 folding (in rear); 383pp. Luther #137. Dustin #49. O'Keefe #317 Very Good- with very moderate wear, but rear foldout map badly chipping (still intact though). 1879 date with revised and enlarged edition statement on title page. This is the same author and title as sought-after third edition - the first with material on the Battle of the Little Big Horn and the Nez Perce Campaign. Although Col. Carrington's wife Margaret had authored the first two editions of this book, the colonel assisted her with them. Margaret died in 1870, so in 1878 Henry, by then retired from military service, added the material on the Custer battle and Nez Perce campaign, substituted his own name as author, and published the third edition of which this is a later printing the next year. A highly desirable Custeriana and western collectible. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 5508
