Descripción

POPULAR EDITION in brick red cloth, issued without dust jacket, 460pp. Luther #43. Dustin #105. Dowd #351. Jennewein #62. O'Keefe #843. Good+ with repaired hear hinge and owner label on front pastedown and original owner signature in pencil on flyleaf; cover condition is Very Good. Finerty was a Chicago Times newspaper reporter who accompanied General Crook's 1876 column and was an eyewitness to the battle of the Rosebud. He was not at the Little Big Horn, but he does share Gall's 1886 account of the fight, which Gall gave at the Custer Battlefield at the 10th anniversary. Finerty also relates the Little Big Horn battle account of Horned Horse, the Sioux who acted as Crazy Horse's spokesman when Crazy Horse gave his account of the battle. Has coverage of the Nez Perce Campaign as well. This was a less expensive edition issued shortly after the first edition, hence "popular edition." Still it is scarce, like the 1st is, with modern softcover reprints selling for $25+. Don't pass this up to own this Luther High Spot. N° de ref. del artículo 5710
