Item description from seller

Reginald S. Craig. The Fighting Parson: The Biography of Colonel John M. Chivington. Los Angeles: Westernlore Press, 1959. First edition. Signed by Reginald S. Craig. Octavo. 284pp (indexed) + 1p ads. Illustrated. Publisher's red decorative cloth, spine lettered in gilt, front cover horse and rider motif in blind, patterned endleaves, original unclipped dust jacket listing a retail price of $7.50. Chivington had proved himself to be an outstanding leader in the Civil War, leading his Colorado Volunteers in a battle against Sibley's Confederate Army. There is no doubt that he had saved the Great West for the Union. Not long after his battle with Sibley he led his men in the infamous Sand Creek "massacre" against the Cheyenne Indians. In his research, Craig has concluded that there was more to Chivington's battle with the Cheyenne than has previously been available to the reader. . Light wear, moderate toning throughout; jacket a bit creased and chipped, else fine. TKC-869.
