Condition: UNSPECIFIED. Reprint Edition. Hardbound 8vo (8.5 inches tall) 491 pages. Marbled endpapers. Description: This is a volume from the Time-Life Classics of the Old West series; and is a facsimile reprint of the original 1891 edition. General George Crook was born in Ohio in 1829. He graduated from West Point in the class of 1852 and immediately joined the fighting in Oregon and Washington. The arrowhead that produced his first wound remained in his body all his life. He proved an exemplary commander, watchful for the welfare of his troops, prudent in their disposition, always building strength before committing it. He was also remarkable for his mien and manner -- a cork helmet, a while suit, the choice of a mule for a mount and his total abjuration of profanity. The author of this book was born in 1846 to an Irish immigrant family and was a student of classical languages. At 16, claiming to be 18, he joined the cavalry and fought in the Civil War. At war's end, he entered West Point and graduated into the Third United States Cavalry where he spent the remainder of his fifty years. Bourke also made a study of Indian life. (Howes Final Edition, Number B646.) Includes the publisher's insert. BINDING/CONDITION: from a uniformly bound series: dark brown bonded leather with gilt text, stamped decoration on the front cover, all edges gilt, ribbon place marker; the series bookplate, with owner's name typed on, has been affixed to the front paste-down endpaper, otherwise in Very Good+ condition.
