Description

George Armstrong Custer’s My Life on the Plains originally helped secure his legendary status as a hero and martyr of westward expansion. Donnelley’s reprint includes a historical introduction by series editor Milo M. Quaife.

Donnelley’s project of creating fine holiday gifts for clients resulted in a series of beautiful and collectible classics of American history. This volume was the last of the “red” series.

Lightly sunned and rubbed, particularly on the spine; light shelf wear; else very good.
