Its points of reference are Richmond in the throes of Reconstruction; the trading floors of Wall Street; a Virginia plantation; and the Great Plains, where the splendidly arrogant George Custer—Yellowhair—rides to his fate against Sitting Bull’s warriors. This is the story of America over twenty years of its most turbulent history. The characters are black, white, and red, ex-Union and ex-Confederate; and the principal narrator is a Santee woman She Goes Before who marries an ex-slave. Through her eyes we witness the hanging of her father by whites in the mass execution of 1863, Red Cloud’s banquet with President Grant, and that final confrontation on the bluffs above the Little Bighorn. <<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>> Images: All of actual item listed Signed: No Format: Hardcover Publisher: Norton Edition: First Printing: First Full Number Line: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Book Condition: Brand New (Unread) Cover: Clean Dust Jacket: Clean and Bright Binding: Straight intact Inside Condition: clean, no writing, torn or missing pages Text Edge: clean List Price: unclipped $24.95 Remainder mark: No Ex-Library: No Book Club Edition: No Mylar Cover: No Please look at all the pictures as they are part of the description/condition of the book.

Rather than adopting the "Collectors" method of describing a book, I use the publishers terms for them to provide a more accurate description. So, that said, while many books state "First Edition", this term can be confusing. A First Edition can have many printings but only the First Printing is the True First Edition. Publishers all use slightly different methods but most use a number line to define which printing, state "First Published in" with no line number or will state "First Edition" and list no line number. With only one exception the line numbers will all include a "1" for the True First Printing hence a True First Edition. Random House and it's subsidiaries use a line starting in "2" (recently they started using a "1" like other publishers) and state plainly "First Edition" if it is a first printing and eliminate the "First Edition" once they start the second printing. Many editions state First Edition, as they are until a reprint is done, but this is not the same as what collectors call a "True First Edition". A books value is in the printing and the First Printing is the most valuable and is referred to as the "True First Edition". An original Book Club issue released at the time the original First Edition is released will be described as a First Edition Book Club and later issues by book clubs will not include the First Edition designation. In my listings all True First Editions will state "First Printing" and if only stating First Edition it will indicate a later printing or re-issue in the description. <> <> <> The statement of a dust jacket "A Book Of The Month Club Main Selection" DOES NOT mean it is a book club edition! It means that the book was selected to be a Book Club of The Month Main Selection as it says, in addition to the First Editions! <> <> <> ****************** EBay Book Condition Definitions Terminology FEP: Front End Paper ISBN: International Standard Book Number Crinkling: the curling of dust jacket edges over time Chipping: Little tears along edges of dust jacket Clipped/Unclipped: The MSRP has or hasn't been clipped off Remainder: The mark a publisher makes when the item is ineligable for credit back from the publisher Foxing: Spotting on a book, usually brown spots found in varying severity, caused by a chemical action wherein impurities in the paper oxidize Brand New A new, unread, unused book in perfect condition with no missing or damaged pages.
