Description

First Edition as part of Webster's "Shoulder Strap" series of books on the Union Civil War Generals, and being the second printing overall. Portrait engraving of General Custer on frontispiece with facsimile manuscript inscription, numerous black and white plates, including some by Frederic Remington, maps and black and white illustrations within the text. 8vo, publisher’s original "Shoulder Strap" green cloth, the upper cover with flags and decoration in gilt, red, blue, and white, the spine gilt lettered and epaulette two star epaulette in gilt and black, floral pattern endpapers. xxiii, 702 pp. A handsome copy of one of the most difficult to find of Webster's 'Shoulder Strap" books, the green cloth nice and dark with no fading, the upper cover decoration with the colours still very vivid and well preserved, the gilt still bright, some light evidence of age only, the hinges strong and tight, a good sign for this heavy book, the text clean, still an excellent survival.
