All pictures were enlarged many times and a new index of key words was created. A short new Preface by publisher William Schneider explains how recent discovered manuscripts shed new light on how Watrous thought and prepared this book. The preface includes one of these - a speech delivered early in the 20th century entitled "My First View of the Rocky Mountains.” Volume I (as listed here) covers pages 1-164 of the original (through "Pingree Hill"); the second volume (not included in this listing) begins with the section in the original entitled "Settlements, Towns, and Cities", and explores history of the county in Stove Prairie, Wellington, and other outlying areas. >Guaranteed secure packaging, free tracking, and no-hassle return policy.…
