Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. This is the story of 150 of the most adventurous scouts, gold prospectors, gunslingers, buffalo hunters, and Civil War veterans of both sides- they may have been the deadliest collection of shooters to ever hit the trail. This is the most detailed work ever produced on the obscure legend of the 1874 Yellowstone Wagon Road Prospecting Expedition in the Montana Territory - the product of multi-year research across the country, and visits to the three battlefields and expedition route of over 500 miles - an event that impacted the Little Bighorn in 1876. Numerous legends of the West rode on the expedition, later playing roles in the Great Sioux War of 1876. Their adversaries now were the Lakota and Northern Cheyenne - some of the greatest light cavalry to ever gallop over the North American continent. And watching their every move were Sitting Bull, Gall, Hump, Crazy Horse, and a renegade chief named Inkpaduta, ready to strike. AUTHOR: French MacLean is the author of twelve books on World War II, and two on the American West. In 2012, his work 'Custer's Best: The Story of Company M, 7th Cavalry at the Little Bighorn' received the Little Bighorn Association, John M. Carroll Award. 342 colour and b/w images Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. This is the story of George Custer's best cavalry company at the 1876 Battle of the Little Bighorn Company M. With a tragically-flawed, but extremely brave Company Commander and a no-nonsense First Sergeant, Company M maintained a disciplined withdrawal from the skirmish line fighting, saving Major Marcus Reno's entire detachment and possibly the rest of the regiment from annihilation. Presented here is the most-detailed work on a single company at the Little Bighorn ever written the product of multi-year research at archives across the country and detailed visits to the battlefield by a combat veteran who understands fields of fire, weapons' effects, training, morale, decision-making, unit cohesion and the value of outstanding non-commissioned officers.

Compilation of notes & observations on Xhosa law & social rules, first published in 1858, one of very few attempts to record indigenous customs related to law in the nineteenth century. 'Kafir' comes from the Arabic, meaning 'non-believer', and was used by African Muslims to refer to those of other beliefs; in South Africa, the term was adopted by European settlers to denote all indigenous people, and is today a racial slur. Hardcover in jacket, as pictured. Light wear to book, minor rubbing to corners; jacket shows light wear, minor creasing & light chipping; rubberstamped name of African folklore professor Harold Scheub. Text clean; viii, 171 pages; 3 folding charts/tables. Size: Small Octavo.

(Subject: World War II - Eastern Front) An account of the men of SS Panzer Regiments 1, 2, and 3 in Operation Citadel, July 5 15, 1943. Kursk is often labeled the "Greatest Tank Battle in History". The Wehrmacht fielded a total of 120 Tiger tanks during the engagement, including 35 from the 2nd SS Panzer Corps. This corps comprised of the three most controversial divisions of the Second World War: Leibstandarte, Das Reich, and Totenkopf. By examining a focused group of men in great detail, specifically the 226 Tiger crewmen at Kursk, the author provides an insight into the sprawling and enigmatic organization that was the Waffen-SS. He scrapes away the mythology surrounding these most feared soldiers, who crewed the most iconic tank of the Second World War.

First Edition
Pp. viii, 168. With three folding tables. Original cloth, paper label (partly chipped) on spine, sprinkled edges. With old inscription. Copy of Knut Olivecrona (1817-1905), renowned Swedish lawyer and philosopher. First edition. Colonel John Maclean (1810-74) was Chief Commissioner of the province known as "British Kaffraria" in South Africa. In 1860 it became a separate Crown Colony with its own administration under Maclean as Lieutenant Governor, and finally re-incorporated into the Cape Colony in 1866. The word Kaffir is derived from the Arabic term Kafir which means disbeliever and historically used as a neutral term for southern African people. This work is a comprehensive account of the natives containing papers and letters by the Rev. H.H. Dugmore, Warner, Brownlee and Ayliff. A fine copy. Mendelssohn i, 960.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. First Edition. Mount Coke, Wesleyan Mission Press (Printed for the Government of British Kaffraria), 1858. Octavo, viii (last blank), 168 pages plus 3 folding tables. Original cloth with the printed paper title-label on the spine, all edges speckled blue; cloth lightly marked, with slight loss near the head of the spine and to the title-label; cloth on the joints split in a few small spots; top edge a little marked; a very good copy. Both the front flyleaf and the title page carry the ownership signature of Sir Malcolm MacGregor, fourth Baronet MacGregor and a British naval commander stationed in New Zealand. The inscription is dated 19 December 1861 ('Auckland, New Zealand' added in the first instance) and indicates that he received this volume from Sir George Grey, the new Governor of the colony, recently arrived from South Africa. Sir George Grey (1812-1898), explorer, governor and politician: in June 1854 he 'was appointed governor of Cape Colony and high commissioner of South Africa. He arrived in Cape Town obsessed with a visionary native policy that would end all Kaffir wars, bring the tribes between Cape Colony and Natal under control, penetrate their lands with broad settlements of white immigrants capable of defending themselves, and finally unite all South Africa in a self-sufficing, self-governing federation. In attempting to crowd these idealistic projects into a five-year term, he alienated his Legislative Council and the colonists and Kaffirs as well as the War Office, the Treasury and the Colonial Office. Grey left Cape Town in August 1861 and in October was sworn in as governor of New Zealand for the second time' ('Australian Dictionary of Biography'). The book has two main contributors, and a miscellany of interesting smaller sections. The first section comprises 'Rev. H.H. Dugmore's Papers, as published in the "Christian Watchman" during 1846 and 1847' (pages 1-54). Almost as much space is given over to 'Mr Warner's Notes, dated Tambookie Residency, December 1st, 1856' (pages 57-109, with the last 35 pages devoted to 'Laws and Customs connected with their System of Superstition').
