Martyrs of the Oblong and Little Nine hardcover by DeCost Smith rare 1948
A wonderful, unique book. I remember reading it many years ago as a youngster and was enthralled. I still am, and am taking time to savour every word and illustration.
Written by an artist and photographer who was there at the time and actually knew Sitting Bull and other major chiefs of the plains tribes, the recollections are so detailed as to bring history to life. Several of the illustrations are portraits from life.
To find a copy in this condition after so many years is amazing. I thoroughly recommend this book. Red book with gold lettering, no jacket
