Edwin C. Bearss, The Battle of Wilson’s Creek Inscribed and Signed

Description

The legendary National Park Service Chief Historian Edwin Cole Bearss wrote this concise history The Battle of Wilson’s Creek as a guide and companion for visitors to the Wilson’s Creek National Battlefield in Republic, Missouri.

While NPS park histories are not normally collected, the works of E.C. Bearss are always important contributions to their subjects. Clear and compelling prose were hallmarks of Bearss’ writing along with deep research. This paperback publication was the finest history of the showdown between Nathaniel Lyon and Sterling Price for a generation and belongs on the shelves of any student of the Trans-Mississippi war.

Lightly used with front hinge starting. Inscribed and signed by the author.
