MY STORY; Edited by C.H. Claudy
Washington, D.C. Press of Byron S. Adams, 1918. 8vo. 412 pp. Illustrated with maps and photographs. Mills (1834-1924) saw “service in Arizona, at Ft. Bridger, and with Crook's 1876 Sioux campaign" (HowesM-623). Though a resident in Texas at the outbreak of the Civil War, he voted against secession, and joined the Union Army, rising to brigadier general by the end of his military career. Mills was also a surveyor, rancher, and inventor. This copy is inscribed by Mills to Alice C. Fletcher (1838-1923), an American ethnologist whose work with the Omaha, and later the Nez Perce, resulted in the publication of several monographs. During her career, she was employed by the Bureau of Indian Affairs to assist in the implementation of the Dawes Act. Very good in original limp leather, gilt-stamped, all edges gilt. Item #55620
