About This Item
College Station, TX: Texas A&M University Press, 1985. Hardcover, [xviii], 158 pages. Very Good condition in a Very Good dust jacket. First edition. Size 9.25"x6.25". "A decade before the celebrated mountain men entered the Northern Plains and Rockies, some dozen little-known trading forays were launched into the plains of the Southwest. Anthony Glass led one of the most important. In 1808-1809, with a party of twelve hunter-traders, he acted as semi-official emissary of the U.S. government in the practically uncharted lands of the Taovaya-Wichita and Comanche Indians . . . . Alone among the early southwestern traders, Glass kept a lively journal detailing his route and experiences. Forgotten for nearly two centuries, this journal appears here in its entirety with rich annotation and interpretation by editor Dan L. Flores." Book and dust jacket have moderate handling/shelfwear, and are clean and unmarked.. Very Good.
