HARDCOVER. Zustand: Very Good. 1st Edition. Octavo; hardcover; 222 pp. Eight plates present. Tight binding; previous owner name in pencil to ffep, else interior clean throughout; color pictorial design to front board bright, unfaded; corners slightly bumped, bottom corners heavily worn; small worn area to fore-edge of back board; Very Good. A scarce first edition. Elijah Nicholas Wilson (1842-1915) was a Mormon pioneer and trapper who ran away from home as a child in Utah and lived for a time with the Shoshone people; this book contains his account of that time. There is some doubt as to whether Wilson was the author of this book, later republished as "The White Indian Boy"; it may have been written by Howard Driggs, an English professor at the University of Utah.

Hardcover. Zustand: Fine. First edition. 222pp. Octavo [21 cm] in red cloth with decorations on spine and front cover embossed in yellow and black (variant colors of binding cloth are known to exist; no priority known). Very faint rubbing to extremities, front board corners just barely exposed, a few light stains to rear board (only visible from an oblique angle); rear endsheet cracked along the hinge, text is crisp and unmarked. Autobiographical story of Elijah Nicholas Wilson, a Mormon boy on the wild western frontier. Wilson pursued many different occupations in his life, including Pony Express rider, stagecoach driver, trapper, rancher, and Indian agent. He spent time living with the Shoshone tribe, and was the 'adopted brother' of Chief Washakie. He was friendly towards the Native people, championed their causes, and spoke out against atrocities committed against them. This work has enjoyed consistent popularity for more than a century, and the edited, sanitized version is still in print today. This is a rare copy of the first edition, presumably suppressed by the Mormon Church. It contains an embittered account of how Wilson's fiancée was prevailed upon to become the second wife of an elderly polygamist (pp. 194-200). Allegedly only twenty copies of the unrevised first edition were issued; the remainder were destroyed prior to distribution. The text was purged of the offending section and the revised, sanitized book was issued in an otherwise almost identical format in the same year (1910). Wilson was also critical of LDS Church leaders' handling of the Mountain Meadows Massacre, and of their handling of Indian affairs. Wilson, Wyoming was named in honor of him. Later revised by Howard R. Driggs and reissued as "The White Indian Boy: The Story of Uncle Nick Among the Shoshones." Flake 9909. Graff 4702. Howes W518.

Frontis. portrait of Wilson plus other black and white illustrations. Small rubbed spot at foot of top cover, and corners, and a couple of other minor spots, near fine. Small bookstore stamp on front paste-down endpaper. Howes W518, Graff 4702. "Blunt, unrestrained narrative of a trapper, Indian fighter, etc. of the Rocky Mountains from Wyoming and Montana to Idaho and Utah. The 247 page reprint omits the account of how he lost his Mormon fiancee [given on pages 194-200 of the original edition]. Wilson, weary of herding sheep, and enticed by an Indian pony, ran away from home at about 12 years of age, to live with the Shoshones. He became the adopted brother of Washakie, and was devoted to his Indian mother (and she to him) though he eventually returned to his Mormon family. This copy has the small square leather bookplate of Frank C. Deering, noted collector of Americana. "One of the prominent features of his library was the almost complete collection which he gathered of Indian narratives and captivities, in which field his collection was unrivalled in the country." -- American Antiquarian Society, October, 1939.
