Filled with many black and white photos, drawings and maps. Does not cover all the battlefields, but well covers the main campaigns. Unfortunately lacks an index. Will ship at over two pounds.

A collection of 14 pamphlets, brochures and booklets relating to aspects of California history. I have been able to find most of these items offered for sale online, and if you were to buy the cheapest ones out there, you would end up paying $170 or more and still not have them all. I think my price is a bargain. The items included are as follows:

Front cover has some dents and creases at the lower right corner. The spine is square and uncreased. The pages are clean, tight and unmarked, with many black and white photos plus a section of color photos near the center. First published in 1961.

No dust jacket. Paper covered boards show very little wear, with one small tear (5 mm) at the lower right front corner. Pages are clean, tight and unmarked, with many illustrations. Owner's name and a small notation inside the front cover, dated 1928. As special and rare as this book is, even more special is an inclusion that comes with it. Stored inside the front cover since 1928 is Yosemite Natural History Association Bulletin 2, A Distributional List of Yosemite Birds. This fifteen-page unstapled brochure was written by Enid Michael, a far more famous person than the writer of the book. Michael was the first female ranger/naturalist at Yosemite, arriving in 1920, and she wrote more about the history and natural history of Yosemite than anyone before or since. The pairing of this bulletin and book makes this a very special item.

Very little wear. Signed by the author, with an inscription, on the title page (see photo). A National Parks publication. Filled with colorful photographs.

Trade paperback. Very little wear. The spine is square and uncreased; the pages are clean, tight and unmarked. The memoir of a former National Park ranger.

Quite rare. A book put out by the Northern Pacific Railway to advertise some of the places you could visit along their routes. Contains many photographs, including panoramic foldouts of three or four panels wide. The cover is torn along the lower 5 cm of the spine and the book has been exposed to moisture. Not currently moist, but there are a few areas of mildew stains, mainly on the front endpaper and the three following pages. One of the foldout panels has torn free, others may be fragile. A few of the pages have pencil check marks as if these were the places the original owner managed to visit. Among the locations featured are The Shores of Kitchigami, The Sepulchre of Lame Deer, The Yellowstone Wonderland, The Lewis and Clark Exposition, and The Shasta-Northern Pacific Route. The frontispiece is the only color illustration.
