Softcover. Condition: Very Good. This is the personal narrative of the most famous cavalry leader America ever produced. Custer's solid claim to military fame rests upon his achievements in the Civil War, yet paradoxically he is chiefly remembered by reason of his death in the Battle of Little Big Horn in June 1876-- Custer's Last Stand. Much controversy still rages over Custer's career and character. Custer was an exceedingly complex man who, in life, won devoted friends and admirers as well as outspokenly bitter enemies. This book, representing the major part of Custer's life, was first published some two years before the General's Death. It is a vivid picture of the American West, the rigors of life for the settlers, and the horrors of indian warfare. Custer, in this intensely personal account, made a major contribution to american history.

From the dust jacket- "George and Bliss Hinkle, who combine thorough historical training with the intimate, almost instinctive knowledge of the country that comes with having been born and brought up in it, have picked out ten or a dozen lakes with the richest and most colorful history and told their stories. "They have a vigorous tale to tell. Fremont comes down from Oregon, entering the Basin in winter, dragging his provocative 12-pounder and looking for the nonexistent Buenaventura River. He names several lakes but nearly starves in the deep snow as he searches for a pass to the west. "With an illuminating exposition of the problems posed by the climate and topography, the Hinkles retell brilliantly the winter ordeal of the Donner party.".

Cover has some wear and soiling, edges worn through cloth in places. Spine frayed. Ink marks at top of fep Quaife was born in Nashua, Iowa. He received his education at Grinnell College, the University of Missouri and the University of Chicago. He was head of the Wisconsin Historical Society and later secretary-editor at the Detroit Public Library's Burton Collection. He was also a lecturer at Wayne State University and the University of Detroit. He served as editor of the Lakeside Classics historical series from 1916 to 1957. The siege of Fort Vincennes (also known as the siege of Fort Sackville or the Battle of Vincennes) was a Revolutionary War frontier battle fought in present-day Vincennes, Indiana won by a militia led by American commander George Rogers Clark over a British garrison led by Lieutenant Governor Henry Hamilton. Roughly half of Clark's militia were Canadien volunteers sympathetic to the American cause. After a daring wintertime march, the small American force was able to force the British to surrender the fort and in a larger frame the Illinois territory. Hamilton had kept a journal from 1778-1779 as Lieutenant Governor at Fort Detroit during the American Revolution; this was published posthumously and addressed his and George Rogers Clark's roles in the war. George Rogers Clark (November 19, 1752 - February 13, 1818) was an American surveyor, soldier, and militia officer from Virginia who became the highest-ranking American patriot military officer on the northwestern frontier during the American Revolutionary War. He served as leader of the militia in Kentucky (then part of Virginia) throughout much of the war. He is best known for his captures of Kaskaskia (1778) and Vincennes (1779) during the Illinois Campaign, which greatly weakened British influence in the Northwest Territory. The British ceded the entire Northwest Territory to the United States in the 1783 Treaty of Paris, and Clark has often been hailed as the "Conqueror of the Old Northwest". Clark's major military achievements occurred before his thirtieth birthday. Afterward, he led militia in the opening engagements of the Northwest Indian War. He was involved in two failed attempts to open the Spanish-controlled Mississippi River to American traffic. He was aided in his final years by family members, including his younger brother William, one of the leaders of the Lewis and Clark Expedition. Henry Hamilton (c. 1734 - 29 September 1796) was an Anglo-Irish military officer and later government official of the British Empire. He served in North America as Lieutenant Governor of the Province of Quebec and later as Deputy Governor after the American Revolutionary War. He later served as Governor of Bermuda and lastly, as Governor of Dominica. In 1779, Hamilton was captured during the Revolutionary War by rebel forces at Fort Sackville in present-day Indiana, while serving as the Lieutenant Governor and Superintendent of Indian Affairs, at the British outpost of Fort Detroit. He was transported to Virginia, where he was held by Governor Thomas Jefferson's rebel government until October 1780. He was sent to New York and gained freedom in a prisoner exchange in 1781, being allowed to depart for London, England. In 1778, Patriot Colonel George Rogers Clark, commanding Virginia state forces, captured several undermanned British posts in the Illinois Country, including Fort Sackville at Vincennes (then in Virginia-claimed land, now in present-day Indiana). Hamilton led an armed party from Detroit on 7 October 1778 to recapture the British post, 600 miles away. His small force gathered Indian warriors along the way, and entered Vincennes on 17 December 1778. They captured Fort Sackville and the American commandant, Captain Leonard Helm. In February 1779, however, Colonel Clark returned to Vincennes in a surprise march, recapturing the outpost and taking Hamilton prisoner. Presumed first edition/first printing thus.

This is a classic study of George Rogers Clark's great victory. Milo Milton Quaife (1880-1959) was a historian of Michigan and the Great Lakes region. He was head of the Wisconsin Historical Society. George Rogers Clark (November 19, 1752 - February 13, 1818) was an American surveyor, soldier, and militia officer from Virginia who became the highest ranking American military officer on the northwestern frontier during the American Revolutionary War. He is best known for his celebrated captures of Kaskaskia (1778) and Vincennes (1779) during the Illinois Campaign, which weakened British influence in the Northwest Territory. Frederick "Fred" Moore Vinson (January 22, 1890 - September 8, 1953) was a politician who served the United States in all three branches of government. He was the 53rd United States Secretary of the Treasury and the 13th Chief Justice of the United States. He won election to the United States House of Representatives in 1924. He lost re-election in 1928 but regained his seat in 1930 and served in Congress until 1937. President Franklin D. Roosevelt appointed Vinson to the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia. Vinson resigned from the court in 1943, to become the Director of the Office of Economic Stabilization. Truman appointed Vinson to the position of Secretary of the Treasury. Vinson presided over the establishment of post-war organizations, including the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development. In 1946, Truman appointed Vinson to the Supreme Court.

Lakeside Press reprint of Clark's memoirs, with historical introduction by editor Milo Quaife. This is number eighteen in the Lakeside Classics series. Colonel George Clark was one of the most important figures in the American West during the Revolution, and his campaign in Illinois country is one of the main reasons that land came to the newborn United States in the Treaty of 1783. "Valuable for a knowledge not only of the events of the American occupation, but also of the conditions in the French villages and the character of the country at the time" - Buck. Clark was apparently not as talented a writer as he was a leader, on account of which Quaife chose to "undertake to turn [his account] into clear and grammatical English" with this Lakeside Press edition.
