Hardcover. Condición: Very Good. "Prue and I" by George William Curtis, is a series of light-hearted sketches of everyday life in mid-nineteenth century America. Originally published in 1856, "Prue and I" was much admired and read by the reading public, and went through many editions. The edition offered here was copyrighted in 1899, and this particular copy was likely issued around 1900 - 1905. It has a lovely frontispiece portrait of Curtis and a few black-and-white plate illustrations through the text. Curtis was one of the most highly esteemed orators of his day. He was an active abolitionist and gave speeches in support of President Lincoln's "Emancipation Proclamation" (Curtis had been one of the founders of the new Republican party) He was also editor of both "Putnam's Magazine" and "Harper's Magazine". A tireless champion of reform, appointed by President Grant to chair the commission on the reform of the Civil Service. he was President of the National Civil Reform League.Curtis was also one of the original members of the Board of Education for New York City and actively supported educational reforms. What an active life for public service! In between it all he found time to pen a few good books. An interesting side-note. Curtis married Anna Shaw, daughter of abolitionist Robert Shaw. she was the sister of Robert Gould Shaw, who was the gallant Union Army Colonel who commanded the famous all-black 54th Massachusetts Infantry Regiment. Shaw was killed in the Second Battle of Fort Wagner. The movie "Glory" is based on Shaw's life.

"The Killing of Chief Crazy Horse is a story of envy, greed, and treachery. In the year after the Battle of the Little Big Horn, Crazy Horse and his half-starved followers finally surrendered to the U.S. Army near Camp Robinson, Nebraska. The reverberations of that event led to the death of the great Ogalala Sioux chief in the fall of 1877. Chiefs who had already surrendered resented the favors he received in doing so. When the army asked for his help rounding up the the Nez Perces, Crazy Horse's reply allegedly was mistranslated by Frank Grouard, a scout for General George Crook. By August rumors had spread that he was planning another outbreak. Arrested at Fort Robinson on 5 September, Crazy Horse was fatally wounded by a bayonet in a scuffle that was reported differently by every observer. In this book the killing of Crazy Horse is viewed from three widely differing perspectives - that of Chief He Dog, the victim's friend and lifelong companion; that of William Garnett, the guide and interpreter for Lieutenant William P. Clark, on special assignment to General Crook; and that of Valentine McGillycuddy, the medical officer who attended Crazy Horse in his last hours. Their eyewitness accounts, edited and introduced by Robert A. Clark, combine to give The Killing of Chief Crazy Horse all the starkness and horror of classical tragedy." - from the rear outer cover. "Invaluable for the opportunity it provides both teacher and student to reflect on how historical accounts are formulated from many different viewpoints." - Kliatt Young Audlt Paperback Book Guide.
