First Edition
Dust Jacket Condition: dj. First Edition. 608pp. Quarto [28 cm] Gray cloth with the title gilt on the backstrip in a red panel. Very good/Near fine. Jacket price clipped. Contains the Morgan essay 'Opening of the West: Explorers and Mountain Men.' This book is a popular history, employing historical essays to outline major western events and figures to an America familiar with the interpretations of the past presented by television westerns and Roy Rogers. "What they found there and what they did there," wrote the editor in the Introduction, "is a story as spectacular as any that has come out of the great ages of history." The illustrations are drawn heavily from 19th century eastern periodicals that tended to mythologize western life and its riches and lend a Hollywood flavor to the work. Saunders 43.
