Seller ID: 01075634

ISBN: 0816517258

Binding: Soft Cover

Condition: Near Fine

178pp. From the From Library Journal review: Taylor, a teacher in Pennsylvania, brings newfound appreciation and enthusiasm to the Mexican-American border area with his Eastern perspective. He and photographer Hickey ably romanticize this arid yet culturally rich landscape. More than a travelogue, their work touches on history and religion as well as current immigration concerns.

344pp. Reprint of the rare 1882 edition.

Condition: Near Fine

256pp. From the Library Journal review: One of those events familiar to even the historically unaware or uninterested, Custer's Last Stand (or the Battle of Little Bighorn) has suffered the unfortunate fate of becoming a cultural icon, to be repackaged to fit different historians' ideologies.

The picture is more complicated, though, as several Indian tribes served as scouts for Custer. Viola, curator emeritus at the...
