EARLY PRINTING, a Very Good book with soft spine ends, some rubbing to spine, light edge and corner wear, previous owner name to front paste-down is hard to see, mild age toning to page block. In a Fair dust jacket with chips and wear to spine ends and corners, sun toning to spine, old tape repairs to reverse of jacket, soiling and age toning to entire jacket. No additional printings indicated, but no date on title page – so early printing with price of $3.50
on jacket flap. Small bookstore sticker to back paste-down: Norton Bros. Books, El Paso. Vestal only devotes about a page to Carson's role in fighting and re-locating the Navajo Indians – Carson was in charge of capturing as many of the tribe as possible and then coordinated "The Long Walk," relocating the tribe to the Rio Grande Valley. This was an infamous episode in the history of the Southwest, during which hundreds of weak and old Navajos died during the long, forced march.
