About This Item

Boston, Massachusetts: Meador Publishing Company, 1941. First Trade Edition . Hardcover. Fine/Very Good+. Author's first book tells the story of California's "Bear Flag Revolt,'' the short-lived rebellion of 1846 in which American settlers in the Sacramento Valley rebelled against Mexican authorities & raised their flag over the Republic of California, which, within days, was attacked by opposing forces who claimed the region for the United States. Focus here is on the relatively unknown role of General Mariano Guadalupe Vallejo who served under 3 separate nations in CA. Orig. published in a blue buckram in a limited edition in 1941, this is apparently the First Trade Edition, SIGNED by the AUTHOR (with 1947 date) to ffep. It is also an association copy, with a gift inscription & signature inside front cover by "Josephine.your State Treasurer & Friend,'' in memory of the recipient's "official visit to Court Valley's #818. October 1947." In 374 pages, with duotone photos throughout, this hardcover book has rich burgundy cloth over boards with bright gilt crest & lettering to front & spine. Condition is Near Fine, marred only by mild corner bumping. Else, very clean, binding strong & straight, hinges secure, pages off-white with a hint of tanning around outer edges. The unclipped DJ (orig. $2.50 price intact to front flap) is VG+: bright with negligible edgewear & slight darkening; nicely protected in new mylar cover free!
