Publication: Filter Press, 1997, Palmer Lake

9 1/2" x 6 1/2" in cream pictorial wrappers. [36] pp. Double-column text. Publisher's Note. Illustrations. "The Indian Wars occupied the imagination of Americans for almost thirty years following the Civil War. The growth of the nation encroached upon Indian lands, and whites had little sympathy for the desires and needs of Indians who wanted to keep their lives and lands safe. The long struggles were amply, and often cruelly, covered in the publications of the day. These two short reprint articles tell a bit of the story." General Crook in the Indian Country was written by John G. Bourke, Captain, 3rd Cavalry, who served under General Crook. This report of General Crook and the Apache Wars was first published in 1889 in "The Century Magazine." A Scout with the Buffalo-Soldiers documents the everyday life of African-Americans serving the the U.S. Army during the time of the Indian Wars. It is written and illustrated by Frederic Remington. Light soiling to wrappers. Very good.
