Item description from seller

Hardcover. With numerous articles and stories by various authors. Most notable are three articles by George Armstrong Custer about his early experiences when stationed in the Indian Territory at the end of the 1860s. This occupation ended in his battle of Washita in 1868 against the Cheyenne Indians. The articles appeared here three years before Custer's death at Little Big Horn in 1876. These and later articles were later issued in book form as My Life on the Plains. Also of particular interest is an article titled "Anti-Slavery Men of the South" by the Virginia journalist and Confederate sympathizer Edward A. Pollard. Pollard's pro-South views changed somewhat after the war and here he writes that there was significant if not conflicted opposition to slavery in the southern states before and during the war. There is also the first printing of "Roman Note-Book" by Henry James. It was included with several other pieces by James on his travels in Italy in Italian Hours in 1909. Bound in three quarter brown leather with raised bands and title and volume labels to the spine. Leather has some rubbing and scraping. Blue and black marbled paper covers. Previous owner signature on ffep. Tender hinges. Interior pages clean and bright. In very good condition 868 pages. PER/061918.…
