Captain Charles a Curtis (6 results)

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. 8vo; (viii), 291 pages; gray fine grain cloth, title in black on spine and front cover. Front cover with scene of a man and woman galloping away from what appear to be Navajos in far distance chasing them, and with the sky on the horizon printed in blue. I have seen copies where the sky is printed white, or left uncolored. No date on the title page, no first edition slug on copyright page, but copyright '1904' on copyright page, and with Harpers code D-Y (1924). Harper novels from the period preceding circa 1912 are difficult to date. A very nice copy.…

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. BOY S BOOK OF THE ARMY TALES OF THE INDIAN WARS 1907 HARPER & BROS. DJ. I quote from the flap of the dust jacket. Here is a book to warm the cackles of a boy s hear and to send him galloping down that highway best known to lovers of adventure the long and thrilling road traveled by soldiers in the American ArmyA book of sure-fire thrills and of a sturdy, intelligent patriotism. Please find on offer here: Boy s Book of the Army. According to the title page, the tales contained in the book are by: Gen. Charles King, John Harberton, Captain Charles A. Curtis, Lieut. Charles D. Rhodes and Others. Please see the photo of the Table of Contents for your further information. The title page says the book is illustrated and indeed, there are four illustrations listed, all of which are present and accounted for (I checked). This small-sized hard cover book (5 ¼ x 7 ½ inches, 244 pages) was published by Harper & Bros. of New York, dated 1907. There is no mention of edition. The book is bound in blue cloth with orange and black decorations and titles on cover and spine. It is protected by a pictorial dust jacket, now a bit battered but still doing its function. This book is quite rare; I was unable to find any extant copies of an original edition of this book. The only offerings online were for print-on-demand versions and I have priced it at the same price as one of those, with the conviction that the collector would rather have an original. Condition: This book is in very good condition. As mentioned, however, the dust jacket has borne the burden of wear, with lots of edge wear including small tear and large chips (please see the photos). The hard covers are much better although they too show some edge wear and some minor bumping. Inside, the book is unmarked and the pages are clean and bright throughout. Both hinges are intact, and the binding is tight and sound. This book is not ex-library or a remainder.…
