American "savages so treacherous and so ferocious ... they had suddenly

with whom they preserved an appearance of entire friendship up to the 
very moment of the assault. Then, their hands red with the blood of 
their murdered friends, they came boldly into Pittsburg." Light, even 
sunning to spines; occasional light scratch or rub neatly retouched. 
Fine and quite scarce, especially in this condition. 	$20,000.00
