About this Item

479 Pages. Eleventh printing of the September 1983 Edition. Light staining to top of front page edges that bleed through very lightly to the 50 pages. If the American West was a place for heroes, what then was Harry Flashman doing there? Among other things, he was fleeing a murder charge, traveling with a brothel on wheels toward the California goldfields, and betraying the scarlet woman who loved him. He was tricking the noble redmen while seducing their women, studiously ignoring all calls of duty and honor as he dealt with the likes of Wild Bill Hickok, Geronimo, Kit Carson, Crazy Horse, and George Custer. He reached his moment of supreme inglory and fear under fire at the Battle of Little Big Horn. Yes, Flashman was back in the thick of things -- making the kind of history you will never learn in school. There are 21 pages of detailed notes at the end of the book.
