For your consideration is this rarely seen German translation of "Sitting Bull and the Indian War" by W. Fletcher Johnson. It is an 1891 First Edition. The front cover is identical in color and design to the English First Editions, showing a portrait of Sitting Bull with an Indian War scene below and Major General Miles, U.S. Deputy Bartlett. Marked on the cover Ghost Dance. Of special interest is the German style font, known as Fraktur, used throughout. Just as the English Edition, the book is profusely illustrated, telling the story of Sitting Bull and his tragic death. Note that the pages are somewhat soiled throughout, and the hinges are coming loose; the book is in otherwise good condition. It measures 5.5" x 8.
