About This Item
New York: Duell Sloane and Pearce, 1959. Stated First Edition 8vo size green clothbound hardcover with pictorial illustration. This is likely a unique professional library rebound with heavier cloth. 185 pages. There is what appears to be a clipping from the original dust jacket (which is not present) fixed to a blank page after the half title page. From this clipping: "Colonel Red Reeder... tells of the adventures of a young officer at a frontier outpost in the Old Northwest just before the war of 1812. Fresh from West Point, Lt. Andrew Raeburn knew that Army life on the frontier was going to be different... He certainly wasn't prepared for the pistol-shot reception his commanding officer gave him... Life at the fort was indeed different... But disaster threatened him when, faced with a mutiny, Andrew struck a soldier and was arrested and court-martialed... Reaching its climax with the Indian attack on lonely little Fort Lookout, this story is authentic in every detail." From authors note: This book is "based on the diary of Second Lieutenant Samuel P. Heintzelman...his diary describes three hard years of service at Fort Gratiot, Michigan." Ex-library book with typical stamps, marks, embossing. Bumped head and heel of spine and lightly bumped corners. One blank page has a pencilled scribble as does fep.
