MY LIFE ON THE PLAINS

Leisure Books, New York, 1976, appears 1^st pr thus.  ISBN 0-8439-00377.  MMPB, 280 pages followed by ads.  Very good; matte finished wraps with a bit of edge, corner and cover wear, small tear at spine head; tight binding.  Interior clean and unmarked with tanned pages.  ‘Few events are as much a part of the national consciousness as the massacre of the Seventh Cavalry at the Little Big Horn.  And few military leaders strike as memorable a figure as the young General Custer – handsome, his long blond hair flowing, destined for national greatness.  In this Bicentennial year, it might be worthwhile to look at that time, not through historian’s hindsight, but through the eyes of Custer himself.  This is what it was like, told by one of the most famous military men in American history.’ (from rear wrap)
