About This Item
Alexandria, Virginia: Time Life Books, 1981. Fine condition. No previous owner's name. Not a remainder. Bright, clean, square, tight, and unmarked. Handsomely bound in full, brown leather that is gilt stamped, and embossed with a western motif/longhorn design. The binding on this copy is GENUINE LEATHER, superior to the cheaper leatherette (imitation leather) found on many copies. Although at first glance, leatherette can look a lot like leather, it does not age as gracefully in the long run. Laid-in is the publisher's introductory letter, which says in part: "This leather-bound volume..." [the reference to "leather" was removed later for the leatherette copies]. A silk ribbon page-marker is sewn into the headband. All edges gilt. Attractive marbled endpapers. A volume in the Classics of the Old West series. Howes C879 [Final Edition C883]: "A cavalry officer's adventures on the frontiers of Texas, Arizona and New Mexico." Author's credits from the title page: "Interpreter to the U.S. Boundary Commission, under The Hon. John R. Barlett, in 1849, '50 and '51, and Late Major of California Volunteer Cavalry, Operating in Arizona, New Mexico, Texas and Western Arkansas.". Facsimile reprint of 1868 first edition.. Hardcover. Fine condition./No dust jacket, as issued.. 8vo. 322pp. Great Packaging, Fast Shipping.
Synopsis
Originally published in 1868, Life Among the Apaches is John Cremory’s intriguing first-person account of pre-reservation Apache life and culture. Written from genuine personal experiences with the Apaches, it has all of the face-paced action and excitement of a novel along with the authenticity of an ethnographic and historical document.
