Item description from seller

New York: Viking, 1996. A beautiful, pristine, unread copy of the FIRST PRINTING. Brand New condition in a bright, shiny Brand New dust jacket. NO chips. NO tears. NO creases. NOT price clipped ($27.95). Clean, square, tight, and unmarked. Sharp corners. NOT a book club edition. NO owner's name or bookplate. NO remainder mark. Fresh and crisp -- obviously never read. 8.5" wide by 9.5" tall. Illustrated with vintage photos, many never before published, and facsimiles of Taylor's handwritten manuscript. Map endpapers. The author was assigned to Company M of Custer's Seventh Cavalry. From the Dust Jacket: "This moving personal and revelatory memoir [is] published here for the first time since its creation." At the Little Bighorn, Taylor's company and two others, in all 112 men, were put under the command of Major Marcus Reno. This previously unpublished account of the battle details not only Taylor's personal experiences, "but a complete history of the event, providing facts and observations never before revealed." Included are biographies of the Seventh Cavalry's officers, a suggested reading list, and copious annotations by Greg Martin. First printing with "First published in 1996" so stated, and complete number row (10 987654321) on the copyright page. Foreword by Greg Martin. At seventeen, Taylor enlisted in the army in 1872. He was assigned to the Seventh Cavalry and served in Custer's western campaigns from 1873-1876. Under the command of Major Reno, he fought for 36 hours against the Sioux at Little Bighorn. Only a short distance away, Custer's unit was annihilated. Private Taylor and the remnants of his regiments attended the burial of Custer's dead. The memories obsessed him for the rest of his days. "Better pens than mine may tell the story of the Little Bighorn but none will attempt it with a greater personal interest or a more sincere desire to truthfully picture the stirring events, the principal part of which has been and ever will be shrouded with a great veil of mystery, for the last rally and entire destruction of Custer's command on that barren ridge has no parallel in the annals of our Indian Wars." -- William O. Taylor. Jacket praise from Stephen Ambrose: "This book is a must for anyone interested in U. S. Western history. Reading it is like actually serving with Custer before his death. Highly recommended!". First Printing of the First Edition. Hardcover. New/New. xv, 207pp . Great Packaging, Fast Shipping.

Description de la boutique

About Books [Genny and Michael Winne, proprietors, formerly of Parsippany, New Jersey) has been selling rare and out of print books since 1985. Besides book fairs and mail order catalogue, long-time collectors and dealers will remember our lengthy For Sale ads in the Antiquarian Bookman and similar magazines. Our inventory of more than 40,000 volumes is especially strong in the specialities listed, but contains fine books in a variety of other fields as well. Because most of our books are stored in protective boxes, rather than on shelves, they cannot be viewed as a whole. If you want to examine specific titles, please provide 24 hours notice and we will make them available for your inspection. Phone calls to (702) 750-2722 are welcome, but please only between the hours of 8am and 10pm, west coast time. Our phone is a landline that cannot receive texts.
