Card covers, trade paperback size, 254pp. Near fine. James B. Fry (1827-1894) spent nearly his entire career on staff duty, retiring only in 1872 to devote himself to military writings, of which Army Sacrifices is one of the most important.

Edward R. S. Canby in the Lava Beds. Includes new introduction by Jerome A Greene.
