Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good+. Good+ dj. First Edition. [good solid copy, minor wear to extremities, one-time owner's signature at lower corner of front endpaper, vintage bookseller's label (Winch & Marshall, San Jose, California) on rear pastedown; jacket heavily browned at spine (which also has a couple of puncture-tears), some minor chipping at spine ends]. (woodcuts; endpaper maps) This "first comprehensive popular account of the march of exploration, settlement and development toward the West, from the early days of the colonies to the disappearance of the last frontier at the end of the past century" is, pretty much, the white man's version of the country's westward expansion. "Based upon the best sources and written with complete historical accuracy, [the book] is a thrilling human story, a narrative of adventure, hardihood and courage. [The author's] chief concern is with the men who did the actual work, fighting, and settlement on the frontier. Written in an eloquent, picturesque style, here is a volume which will appeal to young and old alike. It will enable the general reader to see the pioneers at work and at play, to share their trials and joys, and to catch the spirit of the vision which lured them on to the conquest of a vast continent." Hoo-boy, where to start? How about this choice bit (from pp. 563-564) of the "spirit of the vision": "The frontier had to have its way; and the best that the government could do was to attempt to remove the Indians from the path of the westward movement by peaceful means. In 1871 Congress abolished the system of making treaties; the tribes were no long recognized as semisovereign nations, and negotiations for their removal were simpler and more effective. The tribes were concentrated upon reserves, and the Indian problem after the middle of the seventies had lost its larger meanings." Uh-huh, there's some adventure, hardihood and courage for ya. **** NOTE that additional postage charges will apply for international shipping of this moderately heavy book; if this concerns you, please contact us for a shipping quote before placing your order. ****.
