Revised and Expanded Third Edition. Rebound in Black Cloth, with title in gilt on front cover and spine. 304pp. Frontis portrait. 33 Plates, plus other illustrations. Although Graff 4089 indicates listing of 12 illustrations, our copy lists 21 illustrations, as does most bibliographies. Of significant Western reminiscences and narratives, The sub-title states: "The Author's Personal Recollections of Noted Frontier Characters, and Some Observations of Wild Indian Life during a Continuous Residence in the Dakotas and Adjoining States and Territories Between the Years 1864 and 1889, Corrected up to 1897." As stated by the author in the Preface of this Third Edition, "owing to a few imperfections, and some new light obtained on a part of the subject matter, while on an extended journey of over two thousand miles during the summer of 1896--visiting some of the principal Sioux Agencies in the two Dakotas and Minnesota,--a new edition is herewith presented containing many changes and in a larger form than the two previous editions. Many sketches of both of the earlier works are omitted and replaced by others more nearly conforming to title of the book, and of more interest to the general reader or seeker after information in following lines during that period on the Great Plains and the Upper Missouri River country, in which our characters herein chronicled were prominent actors." A great account of incidents of history and life experiences of many well-known Indians and Frontiersmen on the Northern Plains. Some occasional tanning and slight soiling to text block, and a few short closed-tears to the edges of the fragile paper, else a fine, nicely rebound copy.
