HARDCOVER. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. Octavo; hardcover; 222 pp. Eight plates present. Tight binding; previous owner name in pencil to ffep, else interior clean throughout; color pictorial design to front board bright, unfaded; corners slightly bumped, bottom corners heavily worn; small worn area to fore-edge of back board; Very Good. A scarce first edition. Elijah Nicholas Wilson (1842-1915) was a Mormon pioneer and trapper who ran away from home as a child in Utah and lived for a time with the Shoshone people; this book contains his account of that time. There is some doubt as to whether Wilson was the author of this book, later republished as "The White Indian Boy"; it may have been written by Howard Driggs, an English professor at the University of Utah.

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. First edition. 222pp. Octavo [21 cm] in red cloth with decorations on spine and front cover embossed in yellow and black (variant colors of binding cloth are known to exist; no priority known). Very faint rubbing to extremities, front board corners just barely exposed, a few light stains to rear board (only visible from an oblique angle); rear endsheet cracked along the hinge, text is crisp and unmarked. Autobiographical story of Elijah Nicholas Wilson, a Mormon boy on the wild western frontier. Wilson pursued many different occupations in his life, including Pony Express rider, stagecoach driver, trapper, rancher, and Indian agent. He spent time living with the Shoshone tribe, and was the 'adopted brother' of Chief Washakie. He was friendly towards the Native people, championed their causes, and spoke out against atrocities committed against them. This work has enjoyed consistent popularity for more than a century, and the edited, sanitized version is still in print today. This is a rare copy of the first edition, presumably suppressed by the Mormon Church. It contains an embittered account of how Wilson's fiancée was prevailed upon to become the second wife of an elderly polygamist (pp. 194-200). Allegedly only twenty copies of the unrevised first edition were issued; the remainder were destroyed prior to distribution. The text was purged of the offending section and the revised, sanitized book was issued in an otherwise almost identical format in the same year (1910). Wilson was also critical of LDS Church leaders' handling of the Mountain Meadows Massacre, and of their handling of Indian affairs. Wilson, Wyoming was named in honor of him. Later revised by Howard R. Driggs and reissued as "The White Indian Boy: The Story of Uncle Nick Among the Shoshones." Flake 9909. Graff 4702. Howes W518.

First edition. First issue. 8vo. Original dark green cloth, hand-written titles on orange labels affixed to front cover and spine, 222 pp., frontis. [photograph of E. N. Wilson], preface, illustrated, portraits, plates. A variant binding when compared in a side-by-side comparison with the actual trade edition. This copy is 23cm in height compared to 21cm for the trade edition. The major difference between the two is the 2cm in height of this edition, which was probably bound from leftover sheets as some of the illustrations that are bound-in are ony 21cm while others are 23cm. The existence of this edition is even more curious when reviewing Wilson's comments in Bauer Sale (1958), lot 515, "When the book was in sheets, ready for binding, objection was made to the passage beginning on page 194. Under pressure I rewrote that part and added 25 pages to the original but had 20 copies bound as originally written." Bound in at the end following a typewritten leaf is a set of the altered sheets, pp. 185-247 of the second issue (222 pp. plus 25 additional pp.), "excluding some objectionable sentences," the material was found to be objectionable by the Mormons for its anti-polygamy viewpoint. Graff 4702: "A good narrative of Rocky Mountain trapping. Uncle Nick crossed the plains by ox-team in 1850, and thenceforth was trapper, Indian fighter, pony express rider, ox-team freighter, overland stage driver, companion of Kit Carson, and adventurer in Utah and through all the Rocky Mountain country. The first issue was rigidly suppressed." Howes W520: "Blunt, unrestrained narrative of a trapper, Indian fighter, etc., of the Rocky Mountains, from Wyoming and Montana to Idaho and Utah. The 247 page reprint omits the account of how he lost his Mormon fiancee [given on pp. 194 to 200 of original edition]." Flake 9909: "This first edition was suppressed as critical of polygamy." Bauer Sale 515: "When the book was in sheets, [quoting Elijah N. Wilson], ready for binding, objection was made to the passage beginning on page 194. Under pressure I rewrote that part and added 25 pages to the original but had 20 copies bound as originally written. These I kept for the members of my family." Wilson was also critical of the church's handling of the Mountain Meadows massacre, and in general their handling of Indian affairs as he was sympathetic to the Indian point of view. Wilson, Wyoming was named in honor of Elijah N. Wilson. Light wear to spine ends and corners, some pages carelessly opened, a few pages repaired or lightly soiled, binding lightly shaken, else very good copy of a rare book with the rare unexpurgated tale.

first edition. Octavo (approx. 5 1/2" wide by 8 1/4" / 21 cm tall), red cloth covers with titles and designs in black and yellow. 222 pages. Frontis. portrait of Wilson plus other black and white illustrations. Small rubbed spot at foot of top cover, and corners, and a couple of other minor spots, near fine. Small bookstore stamp on front paste-down endpaper. Howes W518, Graff 4702. "Blunt, unrestrained narrative of a trapper, Indian fighter, etc. of the Rocky Mountains from Wyoming and Montana to Idaho and Utah. The 247 page reprint omits the account of how he lost his Mormon fiancee [given on pages 194-200 of the original edition]. Wilson, weary of herding sheep, and enticed by an Indian pony, ran away from home at about 12 years of age, to live with the Shoshones. He became the adopted brother of Washakie, and was devoted to his Indian mother (and she to him) though he eventually returned to his Mormon family. This copy has the small square leather bookplate of Frank C. Deering, noted collector of Americana. "One of the prominent features of his library was the almost complete collection which he gathered of Indian narratives and captivities, in which field his collection was unrivalled in the country." -- American Antiquarian Society, October, 1939.
