Description

First Edition. Portrait engraving of General Custer as frontispiece, and numerous black and white illustrations throughout the text, and with many engraved full-page plates, including a number by Frederick Remington. 8vo, publisher's original deluxe olive cloth binding with gilt lettering and decoration of Custer's sword to the spine panel and with decorative tooling in gilt and pictorial decorations in colours of the flags used by Custer to the upper cover. xxiii, 702 pp. A handsome copy of one of the most difficult to find of Webster's 'Shoulder Strap" books, the green cloth nice and dark with no fading, the upper cover decoration with the colours still very vivid and well preserved, the gilt still bright, some light evidence of age only, the hinges strong and tight, a good sign for this heavy book, the text clean, still an excellent survival.
