Land Sakes. by Stark, Herbert A - no date.

New York:: Pageant Press, no date.. 1st Edition, so stated.. Hardbound . BINDING/CONDITION: mustard color cloth; a Very Good+ book, with a Very Good+ dust jacket; publisher's price on the jacket flap is intact.. 8vo (8.25 inches tall) . Description: A true account of pioneer days in the West. The publisher's blurb reads: ''It has Indians, frontier towns and the trials and tribulations of homesteading, but most important, it is told by a man who lived it. The reader crosses this great land by covered wagon, and gets a first hand account of how the Indians really were. He learns about ranch life in the Old West, and the coming of the railroad. He lives with the author in a Navajo Mission in Southeast Utah. The author tells of establishing a Drug and Liquor Cure Clinic and reminisces about when he was a guide at the World's Fair in Saint Louis. Interesting anecdotes are related, including one amusing one concerning Hetty Green, the eccentric millionairess.'' This is not dated; circa 1971; the account would appear to have been written sometime shortly after World War II, but not published until later. The publisher's 'About the Author' blurb reveals that Mr. Stark was born in Indiana in 1879, and raised on a homestead ranch in Kansas. He made three covered wagon trips before he was thirteen years of age. Herbert homesteaded in Colorado and Alberta, Canada and had a ranch on the Teas-Mexican border during the Mexican Revolution.
