- "FIGHTING RED CLOUD'S WARRIORS" 1ST
"FIGHTING RED CLOUD'S WARRIORS" 1ST EDITION 1926Presented in this lot is the First Edition of "Fighting Red Cloud's Warriors" by E. A. Brininstool, 1926, The Hunter-Trader-Trapper Co., Columbus, Ohio. A classic account of The Fetterman Massacre, The Wagon Box Fight, The Battle of Beecher Island, and The Buffalo Wallow Fight. From the Preface, "I am not a believer in the old adage that 'the only good Indian is a dead Indian.' My sympathy is with the red man. The early white traders who trafficked with the Indian were, as a rule, a class of men of little conscience and few scruples, who would stoop to any deceit or trickery to rob the Indian of his furs and pelts. It was the early trader who introduced whiskey among the Indian tribes; who, through fraud and knavery, turned the red man against the whites of whatever class. This was the beginning of the hatred and contempt which made all white men, good or bad, soon look alike to the warring savage." Brininstool (1870-1957) was a cowboy poet, but was not a working cowboy. He lived most his life in Los Angeles, rubbed elbows with Will Rogers and Charles Russell, who met regularly as part of a western artists group at the University Club in LA. He is best known for Trail Dust of a Maverick (1914) and Bozeman Trail (1922). Brininstool was a prolific author on the subject of Indian Wars, especially on Little Big Horn. This red cloth illustrated hardcover is in good overall condition, slight scuffing and soiling observed on cover and edges. Intact pages exhibit age tanning and very slight foxing, no other obvious marring noted. Measures 5.25"W x 7.25"L , weight approximate 10oz.
