Pages vary from 20 - 30 pages each. Index in Book #10. This important series is best described by John Carroll: "A few short years ago the Old Army Press published a book of mine which I had edited, The Papers Of The Order Of Indian Wars. In the process of accumulating this exciting material many first-hand, personal memoirs of soldiers of the western frontier were acquired but not published in the book....this left me with a vast amount of important material and no place to put it. I finally decided to issue the material in pamphlet form in a limited edition so that the important material would be, at least, preserved....In the next few months I anticipate several pamphlets will be produced, each representing unpublished material deposited with the Order of Indian Wars for their use. In a couple of instances there will be some material found in the pamphlets which very well may have seen prior publication in obscure periodicals making the material totally unavailable, so for all practical purposes, the material will be seen by you for the first time. Such material is at a minimum; the majority of the narratives will never have seen print before."--John Carroll, Introduction for Book #1. Light crease to upper fore-corner of Book #1 and Book #10, else fine, bright copies. Housed in a custom cloth slipcase with title, author, year on label on spine.
