About This Item
London: John G. Murdoch, c.1890. 1st edition. Very Good. 16 mo.. 3/4 cloth 266pp., The Farringdon Library. Posthumously published novel based on the author's travels in the American West. "Winthrop was probably better fitted to portray the west than any other eastern man who attempted to describe it. As a story of travel among the forests and mountains of the Northwest, it was the first of a long line of books that turned the eyes of the country westward. It presents a truthful contemporary picture of the Indian and pioneer period. Included is a vocabulary of the Chinok Jargon, and numerous sketches of Indians and Indian life, etc." Free front end paper excised, ownerÕs notes on one prelim. & occasional spotting in text o/w a very good copy in blue boards with all edges gilt
