About This Item
Boston: Houghton Mifflin, ( 1955 ). Early printing. Hardcover. Very Good/good. 12mo, 216 pages, cloth
"It's lots more fun to write about ornery, contrary characters than it is about good ones. Upright people are sadly limited in the things they can do, but the ornery character can do anything that comes into his head. ... George Frederick Ruxton, who spent several years dring the 1840's living with the mountain men, devotes a chapter of his book LIFE IN THE FAR WEST ... to a fictionized account of what was probably an expedition led by Joe Walker ... I have fictionized it further - Foreword to these five stories.

About Thomas J. Joyce And Company
Joyce And Company has been in business as a professional rare bookseller and appraiser since 1975. Owner Thomas Joyce was the regular book appraiser on Home & Garden TV\'s \"The Appraisal Fair\\\" program, on international broadcasts. Thomas Joyce was the co-discoverer of George Washington's personal copy of William Leybourn's 1679 edition of THE COMPLEAT SURVEYOR, from which young Washington learned some of his surveying skills at age 16. The book had vanished for nearly a century until its re-discovery in 2017. It is now back at Mt. Vernon.
