Very slight oxidation to a portion of the gilt on the front panel, else fine. Jenkins, BTB 218: “This volume is the most thorough compilation of accounts of Indian warfare in Texas in the 19th century.” Raines, Bibliography of Texas p. 219: “This book, compiled from authentic sources, may be considered in the main reliable. It tells of nearly all the Indian fights and battles in Texas, with sketches of many of the most noted Texan Indian fighters and frontiersmen.” Tate, Indians of Texas 2450: “One of the most unusual and frequently cited books in Texas history. Wilbarger was scalped by Comanches and had good reason to hold a personal grudge.” The William S. Porter, to whom the woodcuts are attributed, is better known as O. Henry.
