Donald Dresden THE MARQUIS DE MORES First Edition
First US edition first print hardback of THE MARQUIS DE MORES: Emperor of the Badlands by Donald Dresden and published by University of Oklahoma Press in 1970.The book is in very good condition (red cloth boards with gilt lettering on white label to spine) with minor creasing to the top and bottom of the spine. The book is in a good unclipped dust jacket which has slight chipping to the spine edges and a one inch closed tear to the bottom spine corner. There is a bookplate attached to the front endpaper. Internally the pages are clean and tight and there are no tears or inscriptions.
This is the first complete account in English of the violence-marked career of the audacious Frenchman who tried to carve an empire out of the Bad Lands of Dakota Territory in the 1880's.
Young, aristocratic, brilliant, and idealistic, de Mores was a seigneur in the grand style. In his ambitious, imaginative mind, money-making and high adventure went together, and the Old West afforded a matchless opportunity to apply all his resources.
282 pages. Illustrated with black & white photographs and illustrations.
