Description:
New York: Indian Head, 1994. Facsimile Edition Printing Unknown. Soft cover. New/No Jacket Issued. B&W era photos illustrate. CONDITION: UNREAD and undated Facsimile Edition Indian Head trade paperback. Very light edge wear. CONTENT: Marketed as an "authentic" biography of Billy the Kid, this book has some truths in it and some fabrications. It is an interesting read and if you are researching The Kid, it is essential, but beware - check your facts with someone like Nolan before betting the house on the information here. IMHO.

CONDITION: UNREAD 1997 Simon & Schuster large hardcover (blue boards) & dust jacket (in mylar cover), first edition, first printing. Tiny "repaired" tear bottom DJ panel at fold. B&W era photo section. CONTENT: Recounts the trial of a radical union leader for the murder of Idaho's former state governor, a case that ultimately involved President Theodore Roosevelt and the tumultuous relationship between capital, labor, and the law in the 1900s. Multiple Pulitzer Prize winner Lukas, who committed suicide at age 64, aspires in his final book to use the 1905 assassination of Frank Steunenberg, governor of Idaho, as a platform from which to survey the panorama of the turn-of-the-century's incessant labor strife. The murder, investigation, and trial quickly became a cause for business, labor, and law enforcement, both private and public. Lukas attempts to gather every…

CONDITION: NEW 2008 Clarion large hardcover (orange boards with gold foil title) and dust jacket (in mylar cover), first edition, 3rd printing. Color and B&W paintings/art reproductions throughout.

A solo trek across 500 miles of uncharted prairie, an expedition to the Andes, harrowing encounters with grizzly bears and panthers, and tours of the royal palaces of Europe were among his many adventures.

With his "Indian Gallery" of…

Simon & Schuster, 1992. 1st Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. New/New. Surprisingly, no illustrations. CONDITION: UNREAD 1992 Simon & Schuster hardcover (blue boards) & dust jacket, first edition, first printing. Deckle edges. No illustrations. Introduction by Jan Morris. CONTENT: I have always had a problem with the term "lyrical" being applied to non-fiction works. I was wrong. THIS is lyrical - just not on each page. Australian novelist Keneally brings his lively imagination to bear on the American Southwest. This is a sometimes sketchy account of a midwinter swing, by car and cross-country skis, through Colorado, Utah, Arizona, and New Mexico. Keneally doesn't talk to people much, and his reactions to landscapes can be predictable: ``Maybe religion is so strong in this landscape because this is terrain which puts the human in his place.'' But as in The Playmaker and Schindler's List, history is what moves him. He offers lively capsule biographies of figures who sum up an impulse, an era, a…

Utah: Utah Museum of Natural History, 1995. 1st Edition Printing Unknown. Soft cover. New/No Jacket Issued. Laurel Casjens color photos illustrate. CONDITION: NEW (shrink-wrapped) 1995 University of Utah Press soft cover, assumed first printing. Detailed color photos by Laurel Casjens. CONTENT: From approximately AD 1 to 1300, the people we now refer to as Anasazi inhabited parts of Utah, Colorado, Arizona, and New Mexico. Their impressive and enigmatic rock art and architectural ruins are well known, but the arid Four Corners climate has also preserved such artifacts as loomed clothes, intricate baskets, and sandals. This book is the most comprehensive volume on Anasazi sandals and weaving technique. Three hundred twelve examples from the extensive holdings at the Utah Museum of Natural History demonstrate the Anasazi genius as skilled textile artists. These examples incorporate colorful geometric patterns and reveal elaborate manipulations of warp and weft. Within the relatively rigid requirements…

CONTENT: 9 March 1876 My name is Meggie Kelly and I take up this pencil with my twin sister, Susie. We have nothing left, less than nothing. The village of our People has been destroyed, all our possessions burned, our friends butchered by the soldiers, our baby daughters gone, frozen to death on an ungodly trek across these rocky mountains. Empty of human feeling, half-dead ourselves, all that remains of us intact are hearts turned to stone. We curse the U.S. government, we curse the Army, we curse the savagery of mankind, white and Indian alike. We curse God in his heaven. Do not underestimate the power of a mother's vengeance... So…

California Historical Society, 1969. 1st Edition Assumed 1st. Hardcover. Near Fine/Very Good. 3 small B&W era photo sections. CONDITION: UNREAD, but not perfect, 1969 California Historical Society hardcover & dust jacket (in mylar cover), first edition, assumed first printing. There is, of course, some light edge wear -most of it to dust jacket (3 small nics). CONTENT: Sherman had a natural gift for writing, and his letters are informative, interesting, and enlivened by a mature sense of humor. As senior resident partner of a banking house in San Francisco (1853-1857), Sherman wrote frequent reports to the home office in St. Louis, detailing not only routine business of the bank but also pertinent information about political and financial developments in the city (including the Vigilance Committee of 1856), the gold-mining areas, and the state capital. The letters were written to Henry Smith Turner, a partner and a close personal friend, and are characterized by a greater personal…
