About This Item
Caxton Printers, 1953. First edition. Hardcover. Very Good in Very Good DJ. First edition signed by the author's daughter Jeannette Jocelyn Fradet on the half title page, very good + blue cloth hardcover shows faint stain and soil to covers and some other light trace wear, in very good dust jacket (price at flap) that shows rubbing and soil, edgewear that includes small closed tears and shallow open chipping mainly along top edge, and with staining and small open chips to front panel. 436 pages with photos, maps, drawings, foldout, index and endpaper maps. Still a solid copy of this biography of the noted General that is particularly appealing for its photos of army life in the West.
