As noted in O'Keefe's bibliography, many of the original first editions where damaged in a warehouse fire. Books rescued from the fire were then "adjusted" to make them saleable - trimmed, new endpapers added, rebound and sold. This is one of the originals that was sold prior to the fire. See O'Keefe for longer explanation. I did an extensive study of this book and its publishing history a few years ago. I found several different versions of the book by examining copies in my own collection and several other cooperative booksellers. We found there are at least four different versions - the original "deluxe" (which this is), what we now refer to as the "trade edition" (which may have been adjusted after the fire), and then two different "salvaged" versions where the contents of the book were saved, trimmed and new covers bound on the books. No one knows exactly how many of the 800 originally published books made it on the market but we do know there were only 100 or fewer of this deluxe limited edition published (based on the stamped numbers on the limitation page). How many of those survived the fire is unknown. An outstanding Custer book - made more collectible because of the unique circumstances surrounding the publishing history + having the signatures of both Spotts and Brininstool. The publishing history will be included with the book. Signed.…

Lee. The Inside Stories by Actual Observers, Of a Most Treacherous Deed Against a Great Indian Leader. "Mr. Brininstool has made a genuine contribution to the history of the Nebraska frontier in the foregoing account of the surrender and death of the Sioux Chief Crazy Horse, at Fort Robinson in 1877. The story of the killings was often told around the campfires of those days by both Indians and white frontiersmen.It is probably true that Crazy Horse was one of the most remarkable men of his remarkable race, and that, as a warrior, it is questionable whether it ever produced a greater." The "inside story" of the dastardly murder at old Fort Robinson, Nebraska, September 5, 1877, of Crazy Horse, the great Fighting chief of the Sioux nation, is given here in full detail by military men who were present on that tragic occasion.
