Illustrated with photographic portraits of Indian Chiefs, soldiers, camps, etc. In the publisher's rare original printed wrappers, decorated and lettered in black on the front cover and spine. Wrappers a bit tired around the edges with some chipping and tears, and a small loss to two corners on the front cover. Previous owner's ink signature on front. Some edge chipping to a few sheets and plates, but the text block is very sound. Altogether, a very good, attractive copy now housed in a custom black cloth clamshell case with a black morocco lettering label on the spine tooled in gilt.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Books & Catalogs (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
