First Edition. An exceptional copy; fine in an equally fine dust wrapper. Particularly and surprisingly well-preserved; tight, bright, clean and especially sharp-cornered. Literally as new.; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 338 pages; Physical description; xvii, 338 p., [16] p. of plates : ill., maps ; 25 cm. Recounts the lives and adventures of British aristocrats who explored and settled in the American West between 1830 and 1890, becoming landowners and making social adjustments to rub elbows with fur traders, Indians, and buffalo. From the 1830s onward, a succession of well-born Britons headed west to the great American wilderness to find adventure and fulfillment. They brought their dogs, sporting guns, valets and all the attitudes and prejudices of their class. Prairie Fever explores why the West had such a strong romantic appeal for them at a time when their inherited wealth and passion for sport had no American equivalent. In fascinating and often comic detail, the author shows how the British behaved and what the fur traders, hunting guides and ordinary Americans made of them as they crossed the country to see the Indians, hunt buffalo and eventually build cattle empires, buying up vast tracts of the West. But as the British blue bloods became big American landowners, they found themselves attacked and reviled as land vultures and accused of attempting a new colonization. The denouement came when Congress moved against the foreigners and passed a law to stop them from buying land. Peter Pagnamenta's wonderful account shows the enthusiasm of the British for new horizons in the age of empire, set against the rise of a modern nation that would soon eclipse them. Biography; Peter Pagnamenta is a historian and writer of books and major television series. He has produced many history documentaries for the BBC including People's Century, the award-winning series on the great changes of the twentieth century.

"This extraordinary story of the British aristocracy's encounter with American frontier life in the nineteenth century. From the 1830s onward, a succession of wealthy and well-born Britons headed west to the great American wilderness to find adventure and fulfillment. They brought their dogs, sporting guns, valets, and all the attitudes and prejudices of their class. Prairie Fever explores why the West had such a strong romantic appeal for them, at a time when their inherited wealth and passion for sport had no American equivalent. Told with fascinating and often comic detail, this is the story of how the British grandees behaved - and what the American fur traders, hunting guides, and outfitters made of them as they crossed the country to see the Indians and hunt buffalo and bears. Accustomed to the rigid hierarchy and deference that surrounded them at home, they found themselves in the rawest, most robustly democratic part of the new republic, where no one cared who your father was and where equality was aggressively asserted. Those who were haughty or imperious were mocked or made to suffer. In a final phase they built cattle empires and bought up vast tracts of the West. But as British blue bloods became American landowners, they found themselves under increasing attack. Now reviled as "land vultures," they were charged with attempting a new colonization. In a final denouement, Congress moved against the foreigners and passed a law to stop them from buying land." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.

First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. This is the extraordinary story of the British aristocracy's encounter with the Far West of the United States in the nineteenth Century, when a succession of well-born travellers made their way to what was then the great American wilderness. A vivid narrative, based on letters, diaries and contemporary accounts, tracks the romantic appeal that the wide horizons and exhilarating air of the prairies held for so many Britons, until a harsher reality finally overtook them. There is light wear to the top rear corner.
