About this Item
Description:
[4 1/2]pp. of neat manuscript text, plus an original albumen photographic portrait of Brackett. Both letters and the photograph are in frame- like paper mounts. Overall very good. Brackett, a colonel in the U.S. Cavalry, Indian fighter, and author of HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES CAVALRY (1865), served in the Mexican-American War, and defeated the Lipan Apaches in Texas in 1856. He also distinguished himself in Arizona and other western states. In the first letter, dated at Fort Bridger, Wyoming Territory, March 10, 1873, Brackett forwards the accompanying albumen portrait, and advises Rodenbough on book publishing, modestly citing his own attempts at historical writing. Brackett also suggests a book by Col. Henry for a good account of his services. The second letter, dated at Fort Sanders, Wyoming Territory, November 2, 1875, includes praise for Rodenbough's book, FROM EVERGLADES TO CANON: "It is creditable alike to yourself and to the regiment. I have seen no military book so neatly printed or got up in such style, and it will undoubtedly reflect great credit upon you." The original albumen portrait accompanying the first letter shows a seated Brackett in uniform. Seller Inventory # WRCAM23886
