Austin, TX: University of Texas Press, 1997 WYSIWYG pricing--no added shipping charge for standard shipping within USA. Translated by Mark McCaffrey; original title was Una excursión a los indios ranqueles. Black spine with mostly yellow covers, xiv, 418 pp, map, notes, glossary, bibliography, index. Corners bumped causing creasing, especially to top fore-edge, otherwise fine. Originally published in Argentina in 1870, this appears to be the first English translation, published simultaneously in cloth and paper. According to the translator's introduction, Mansilla's book is "one of very few works of either North or South American letters which present a vivid and sustained firsthand account of noncombative coexistence between American Indian and white civilization, on Indian land, during any nation's period of consolidation. Noted in its own country for its wit, adventure, and narrative ingenuity, it brings original insight to Western questions of 'civilization and barbarism,' immigration, ethnic and racial diversity, and land ownership and tenancy." Shipping weight 2 lbs.. First Paperback Edition. Trade Paperback. VG/No dj. 23½ X 15 cm.

You can place credit card orders through Biblio, or we will ship upon receipt of payment by check or money order. Sales tax is collected by Biblio and remitted directly to your state, where applicable. SHIPPING IN UNITED STATES: Books are priced postpaid, so there are no additional shipping charges for standard shipping. We will ship via Priority Mail for $12.00 per order (Save on multiple-book orders!). This may be reduced if actual postage is less than for a medium flat-rate box. INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING: In most cases, shipping via Biblio's consolidated shipping program via Asendia is the cheapest option on orders up to 5 lbs. International shipping rates are complex (cost depends upon weight and destination), so please feel free to email us for a quote before you order. If the actual cost of shipping is more than the automatically quoted rate, you must approve the additional charges before the order will be shipped. Shipping charges will be reduced if shipping weight is under 3 lbs. All shipping charges (except via Asendia) include 17% to cover Biblio fees and commissions that apply to these charges. LIBRARIES: We offer flexible terms to public and university libraries.
