Life of Sitting Bull and The History of The Indian War. First Edition. 1891. 8vo. Blue cloth over boards. Cover and spine are highly decorated in gilt and maroon impressions as well as a portrait of Sitting Bull and a depiction of a Ghost Dance around a fire. Some wear at the head and foot of the spine and some rubbing to the tips. Binding appears to be in solid condition. No interior marks. Some light finger smudging to first few pages. Engravings are bright and map of the Badlands is present. The name of Sitting Bull must be as famous as that of Tecumseh, of Red Cloud, as that of Black Hawk or Massasoit. The Sioux massacres of 1862, make Wyoming seem commonplace, and the last rally of Custer at the Little Big Horn fight has no parallel in all the annals of our Indian wars. Nor is the long drama drawn to an unworthy Close by the weird Ghost Dances, the death of Sitting Bull and the mad slaughtering at Wounded Knee.
