Sobre este artículo
Norman, Oklahoma: University of Oklahoma Press, 1997. This book is in New condition, with a New, unclipped dust jacket. It is still sealed and protected by the manufacturer's original shrink wrap. When the Army of the West marched into Santa Fé, New Mexico, on August 18, 1846, a Missouri volunteer named Richard Smith Elliott was one of its officers. In addition to Lieutenant Elliott's duties in the Laclede Rangers, he served as a regular correspondent to the St. Louis Reveille. An entertaining and educated observer, he thrilled readers back home with an account of the grueling march over the famous Santa Fé Trail, the triumphant entry of the army into Santa Fé, the U.S. occupation of New Mexico, and the volunteer's eventual return to St. Louis. The editors have annotated the letters and added material from Elliott's autobiography for several missing letters. The book includes a frontis, illustrations, and maps. The book measures 5 3/4 by 8 7/8 inches and includes 292 pages.. First Edition. Hard Cover. New/New. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
