About This Item
The Red Badge of Courage is a war novel by American author Stephen Crane (1871–1900). Taking place during the American Civil War, the story is about a young private of the Union Army, Henry Fleming, who flees from the field of battle.
This book contains 4 other stories, Crane's best: The Upturned Face, The Open Boat, The Blue Hotel and The Bride Comes to Yellow Sky.
It is hunter green leatherette, heavily trimmed in gold. There is a little scratch to the leatherette on the top right of the cover and there is a scuff to the back cover. Tiny bits of shelfwear to the spine. The original owner signed the front endpaper and put a bookplate on the inside front cover. Otherwise perfect.

Synopsis
Henry Fleming, a raw Union Army recruit in the American Civil War, is anxious to confirm his patriotism and manhood—to earn his “badge of courage.” But his dreams of heroism and invulnerability are soon shattered when he flees the Confederate enemy during his baptism of fire and then witnesses the horrible death of a friend. Plunged unwillingly into the nightmare of war, Fleming survives by sheer luck and instinct. This edition of Stephen Crane’s poignant classic is supplemented by five of his acclaimed short stories as well as selected poetry, offering the full range of this great American author’s extraordinary talent.
