Sobre este artículo
New York, NY: Devin-Adair Company, 1988 Devin-Adair Company, New York. 1988. Hardcover. Reprint Edition. Book is tight, square, and unmarked. Book Condition: Near Fine; scant shelfwear to tail and lower tips. DJ: Near Fine; NOT Price Clipped ($7.50); slight tanning to spine. Blue cloth boards and spine with bright black lettering on the spine. 339 pp 8vo. The personal letters of General Custer and his Wife Elizabeth Bacon are brought to light here for the first time. They tell dramatically of the War Between the States, the perils of frontier life, and the amazing political chicanery that led to Custer's tragic ed at the Little Big Horn River in Montana Territory. Her letters are as simple, direct, and unrestrained as his. They tell of life in a Southern mansion, in a wilderness cabin, and a Washington hotel. They record with almost naive truthfulness the undertones and nuances of personal political loyalties rarely expressed by historians. A clean very presentable copy.
