Evans, the first governor of Colorado in the Sand Creek Massacre. 338 pgs. Illustrated. Inscribed, dated and signed by the author on the half-title page. Dustjacket has some minor rubbing to edges and a few scuff spots on the rear cover; in mylar. Text has two tiny spots on the outer edge, minimal shelfwear.. Signed by Author.
