Glendale: The Arthur H. Clark Company, 1941., 1941.. First edition. Revised edition. Green Cloth, 360pp., illus., 2 maps, intro., biblio., index. The first printing of this work in 1918 helped rescue Jedediah Smith from obscurity and has become a fur trade classic. Subsequent works on Smith by Maurice Sullivan and Dale Morgan provided much new information and prompted Harrison Clifford Dale to reexamine his original work. "Twenty years have elapsed since the first edition of this book was written. In the interval much new material has been brought to light, including the fragmentary Smith journals, some of it necessitating a correction or modification of my earlier interpretations, some of it, also, happily strengthening conclusions that had been hazarded in the first edition. I have found the only satisfactory way to use this new material effectively has been to recast many portions of the book. This edition, consequently, is something more than a revision, something less than a complete… Read More

New York: Frederick A. Stokes Company, 1936., 1936. First edition. First edition. Slight offset to spine panel else a bright near fine copy in a bright, near fine dust jacket with expert restoration to the extremities.

Strang's sworn mission is “to crush the evils of parole, and to smash the… Read More
