George Armstrong Custer’s fabled Fifth Regiment fought with great distinction throughout the war and suffered the third highest total of men killed in the entire Union cavalry.

VERY SCARCE IN DUSTJACKET. First Edition consisting of only 1500 copies of James’ posthumously published unfinished novel. James was writing the novel in 1914 but stopped work on it due to the outbreak of the war. With such a momentous event occurring he felt that the novel no longer represented contemporary life.
