CUSTER TRAILS SERIES: Upton and Sons, Publishers, are pleased to present this open-ended series about, but not limited to, Lt. Colonel George A. Custer and the Sioux War of 1876. The series will include volumes that are carefully selected to provide the serious student of the American Indian Wars with views and perspectives never before available, and also insures the general audience of a smoothly flowing account of events as they unfold during the life of the Seventh Cavalry’s charismatic commander which ended in the Battle of the Little Bighorn in 1876. Each volume will be handsomely produced in an 8 ½ x 11 format bound in red linen with gold stamping and will provide detailed descriptions and unusual photographs of the participants and the trails they followed. This has never been attempted before on this scale, and it is unlikely that an ensemble of gifted writers such as these will ever again combine their literary, photographic and artistic skills and the intellectual curiosity required to produce work of this depth. Published in a small run of usually 750-1000 copies some volumes are already out-of-print. A signed, numbered leatherbound edition of 50 copies is available but often is snapped up by collectors. Standing Orders for both the trade edition and the limited edition are available to insure the customers obtain their copies of these attractive volumes. Dealer inquires are welcomed.
