First Edition. First Edition. octavo, maroon cloth in pictorial dust jacket. (xxx), (194)pp. University of Nebraska Press, Edited and with an introduction by Paul L. Hedren. Illustrated with photographs. Charles King was one of the more improbable characters in American history: he completed 70 years of active military service and was the only soldier decorated for fighting in five wars. Known as the "American Kipling," he wrote numerous 19th-century dramatic novels between his campaigns. His books--best sellers then and forgotten today--provided matchless first-person insight into the frontier wars and Indian life. This chatty study by his long-term biographer and friend was only recently rediscovered and edited. Solidly factual, it brings to life a host of well- known historical characters befriended by King. Very fine copy. octavo, maroon cloth in pictorial dust jacket.
