Trade Paperback. Condition: Very Good. 1st Bison Book Printing 1977. 144 pp. Solidly bound copy with moderate external wear, crisp pages and clean text. Synopsis: A Frontier Lady: Recollections of the Gold Rush and Early California, Sarah Royce, Ralph Henry Gabriel, 'A graphic and moving picture of the gold rush to California' - "New York Times". 'Accounts have been written of many early journeys across the plains by those who accomplished them and California is rich in personal literature of the gold rush. Few of those memoirs have the drama and classic quality of that written from her 'pilgrimage diary' by Sarah Royce. Characteristic events seem to have lain deep in her memory there to be transformed by something more than personal emotion into generic portraiture.The remembrances maintain a bold and natural outline to the end, with the unconscious achievement of style' - "New Republic". 'Has the double interest of an adventure story and of history' - "New York Evening Post". Since it was first published in 1932, "A Frontier Lady" has held a high and special place in the literature of Americas westward migration. Written in the 1880s at the request of her son, the philosopher and educator Josiah Royce, Sarah Royce's narrative of the family odyssey across the continent and of their early years in California is also the portrait of a remarkable woman. In the words of her daughter-in-law, 'Wherever she was, she made civilization, even when it seemed that she had little indeed from which to make it'. Jack Brodie (Cover Design) (illustrator).…

Trade Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Third Bison Book Printing. 369 Pages. One inked line of owner's name inside of front cover. No marks or stamps and interior text pages are flawless. The decades of the '70s and the '80s were the heyday of the Old West as the world has come to know it in stories and songs, plays, motion pictures, and television dramas. Edgar Beecher Bronson, the real-life prototype of that now familiar character, the tenderfoot from the East, went out where the West began when it began. When he took his first herd of cattle north of the North Platte River, he went into an area of roughly three hundred thousand square miles which held no white man's habitation save the little camp of miners in the Black Hills, and had for its only tenants nomad bands of Cheyenne and of Oglala, Brule, and Uncapapa Sioux. Bar one ranch immediately on the Platte River to the east of Fort Laramie, was the first man to carry a herd of cattle into the Sioux country, and there locate and permanently maintain a ranch. The story of Bronson's apprenticeship on the range and his evolution from a greenhorn puncher into an experienced old hand has come to be regarded as a classic of cow-country literature. If almost an excessive amount of excitement seemed to come his way, it was not because he was hunting trouble, but was simply due to the fact that trouble seemed to take a lot of pleasure in hunting the few plains dwellers of that day in that region. It just came to all of us, in one form or another, in the course of the day's work in the late '70s and early '80s. Contents in 14 Chapters: A Desert Sport, The Making of a Cowboy, The Tenderfoot's Trials, The Tenderfoot's First Herd, A Cowboy Mutiny, Wintering Among Rustlers, A Finish Fight for a Birthright, McGillicuddy's Sword, The Last Great Sun Dance, End of the Trail, Concho Curly at the O'ra, Adios to Deadman, A Cheyenne Warrior-Historian, and The Conqueror of Mount Tyndall.
