Sobre este artículo
New York: Murray Hill Books, 1946. Hardcover. Near fine/Good+. 458 pp, with index, map, and 36 illustrations. Some discoloration on endpapers, else a fine copy in publisher's beige cloth. The dust jacket is lightly sunned at the spine and has some creasing to the rear panel, short tear to lower front panel, and internal reinforcement with paper tape, but is in a mylar cover and presents nicely. Reprint of the 1909 edition. "After beginning his career as a 12-year-old riverboat deckhand, Grant Marsh went on to serve with the Federal Mississippi River flotilla during the Civil War. He began piloting on the Missouri River in 1873, and was the most popular steamboat captain when the army hired his 'Far West' riverboat for the duration of the Great Sioux War. Marsh had the unenviable task of delivering the bad news of the Little Bighorn disaster, as he carried the battle's wounded to North Dakota" (later publisher's description).
