Paginates: blanks, frontis, 548, [6], blanks, 28 unpaginated plates including frontis and half title. Measures 8.5 x 6.25 inches. The plates, personal anecdotes and observations are major attractions of this book. Author traveled through Territory 1858-1860. He was fortunate to meet and befriend Cochise early in his travels. See Howes C843; Rader 950; Graff 898. Please see images of the book you will receive. Notes: Although not stated this is likely second edition. Has copyright date of 1876, ads are for books published in 1877 or earlier. The text is identical to the 1873 first edition through page 527. The additional material elaborates on the Apache / US conflict and gives an account of formation of the Arizona Territory. More Notes: book offers observations of a common man not those of a soldier, academic or scientist. Many of his stories are anecdotes of his individual adventures which run from humorous to tragic. The 1875 UK edition is also listed. [Amerind]. Seller Inventory # ABE-1632436175618

A note about shipping outside the US:
Shipping costs from the United States to anywhere outside the U.S. have gone up astronomically. While USPS First Class International is the least expensive, no tracking is provided. Since the beginning of 2020 this class of shipping has become unreliable. Priority Mail International is now the best option and much more expensive. Small lightweight books can be shipped for less than the price indicated so feel free to contact me and I will reduce fee to actual cost.
