About This Item
First USA printing. Book has minor creasing to the top and bottom of the spine. Unclipped DJ has slight chipping to the spine edges and a one inch closed tear to the bottom spine corner. There is a bookplate attached to the front endpaper. This is the first complete account in English of the violence-marked career of the audacious Frenchman who tried to carve an empire out of the Bad Lands of Dakota Territory in the 1880's. Young, aristocratic, brilliant, and idealistic, de Mores was a seigneur in the grand style. In his ambitious, imaginative mind, money-making and high adventure went together, and the Old West afforded a matchless opportunity to apply all his resources.
