No Survivors
New York: Random House, 1950. Boards. Very Good binding / Very Good dust jacket. Item #11332
Octavo. [8], 344 pp. First edition. In publisher's textured paper over boards with dust jacket. Binding is a bit toned at the perimeter of the boards, spine, and edge of the textblock; the margins of the pages are very lightly toned with very occasional spotting to the contents; overly protective contemporary owner has inked his name four times: two on the preliminary pages and again at the head of the "conclusion" and at the end of the same; dust jacket is a bit edgeworn with some shallow chipping to the bottom of the spine; price intact on the front flap.
One of the great writers of that distinctly American genre, Western historical fiction, Henry Wilson Allen authored more than 50 novels. A few of his books were written under his own name, but he is far more known for his two pseudonyms, Will Henry and Clay Fisher. While Allen had been a prolific screenwriter for more than a decade before writing No Survivors, this is Allen's first novel and one of the best novels ever written about the Battle of Little Big Horn.
