322pp. A facsimile reprint of the original 1868 publication. Bound in full brown leather with blind embossed decorations and gilt lettering front and spine. All edges gilt. Marbled endpapers. Yellow satin ribbon marker bound in. 8vo. Boards very slightly rounded on corners. Original leaflet from the publisher, giving details of Major J C Cremony and his writing, loosely laid in, together with an original, unused ‘classics of the old west’ ex libris bookplate. Life Among the Apaches is a slam-bang, hell-for-leather daredevil account of hard riding, straight shooting and quick thinking in tight corners during the Indian Wars. This was not quite what the author had in mind – his purpose being to show that the American Southwest could be made safe for settlement. Cremony (1815-1879) did not think much of Apaches (or Mexicans for that matter) but acknowledged that their war methods were effective. A beautiful book
