Description
A TERRIBLE GLORY by James Donovan (2009 Easton Press Collectors Edition, Genuine Leather) Like New A rousing and meticulously researched account of the notorious Battle of Little Big Horn and its unforgettable cast of characters from Sitting Bull to Custer himself. In June of 1876, on a desolate hill above a winding river called "the Little Bighorn," George Armstrong Custer and all 210 men under his direct command were annihilated by almost 2,000 Sioux and Cheyenne. The news of this devastating loss caused a public uproar, and those in positions of power promptly began to point fingers in order to avoid responsibility. Custer, who was conveniently dead, took the brunt of the blame. The truth, however, was far more complex. A Terrible Glory is the first book to relate the entire story of this endlessly fascinating battle, and the first to call upon all the significant research and findings of the past twenty-five years -- which have changed significantly how this controversial event is perceived. Furthermore, it is the first book to bring to light the details of the U.S. Army cover-up -- and unravel one of the greatest mysteries in U.S. military history. Scrupulously researched, A Terrible Glory will stand as a landmark work. Brimming with authentic detail and an unforgettable cast of characters -- from Sitting Bull and Crazy Horse to Ulysses Grant and Custer himself -- this is history with the sweep of a great novel.

What an amazing transaction! My brand new, leather bound Easton Press book still in shrink wrap arrived in outstanding condition!! It was wrapped in bubble wrap and surrounded by tissue paper. The shipping speed was super fast as the seller sent it by Priority Mail. Fantastic! Item was totally as described as on website. I communicated with seller and requested extra packaging inside box due to very cold weather conditions in MI. I’m extremely pleased with my purchase and this seller!!! Thanks!!

The seller WGMartin Book Gallery offered me a wonderful copy of the Easton Press Idylls of the King by Alfred Lord Tennyson, a book I had been hoping to add to my library for quite more than a fortnight, for a fair amount that caught my attention, and they then proceeded to follow through with ensuring the transaction went smoothly by packaging the book properly for transit across the country, shipped it out expediently and provided it to me in the condition it was listed in and as described! A+
