Description:
Sacramento, CA: Van Voorhies-Phinney Company, 1940. First Edition. The Gold Rush made Sacramento a major commercial center and distribution point for Northern California, serving as the terminus for the Pony Express and the First Transcontinental Railroad. Founded in 1850 (as R. Stone and Co.), by the late 1800s Alexander Van Voorhies and son-in-law George Phinney, now the Van Voorhies-Phinney Co., had established a reputation as one of the premier saddle and harness firms in California, rivaling the best San Francisco had to offer. Over time, and with the arrival of the automobile age, the company diversified its product line to include industrial supplies, mechanical rubber goods, boots and shoes and rubber footwear. By 1920 the company (now known as 'Vanco)' had become the sole western representative for the iconic Converse Rubber Shoe Company. The firm, family-operated for over 130 years, was one of the oldest in California when it closed its doors in 1986.  Included in this rare collection of… Read More

Boston: Houghton Mifflin Company, 1954. First Edition. 8vo. 438 pp. Introduction by Bernard DeVoto. Spectacular fold-out panoramic view of the Canyon; illustrated plates. Near fine (some splitting along fold lines of fold-out panorama) in very good dustjacket (some wear to extremities, moreso to spine ends with chipping). In this fascinating look at the old American West, Stegner recounts the successes and frustrations of John Wesley Powell, the distinguished ethnologist and geologist who explored the Colorado River, the Grand Canyon, and the homeland of Indian tribes of the American Southwest. A prophet without honor who had a profound understanding of the American West, Powell warned long ago of the dangers economic exploitation would pose to the West and spent a good deal of his life overcoming Washington politics in getting his message across. - google books.
