Stephen Crane The Red Badge of Courage 1st Edition
The Red Badge of Courage takes place during the American Civil War and is centered around a private who belongs to the Union Army. Despite author Stephen Crane writing the book decades after the war ended and not personally experiencing war, the book is praised for its realism in depicting the battlefield and war violence. The novel has been adapted into a 1951 film that stars Audie Murphy.
The Red Badge of Courage remains an American classic and is widely popular among book collectors. Below is a recent realized price and we can obtain this amount or more for you:
