› Find signed collectible books: 'The Bacchae of Euripides: A New Version'Book summary:[via]This new translation of The Bacchaethat strange blend of Aeschylean grandeur and Euripidean finesseis an attempt to reproduce for the American stage the play as it most probably was when new and unmutilated in 406 B.C. The achievement of this aim involves a restoration of the "great lacuna" at the climax and the discovery of several primary stage effects very likely intended by Euripides. These effects and controversial questions of the composition and stylistics are discussed in the notes and the accompanying essay.

By the end of the 1880s that figure had dwindled to a few hundred. The destruction of the great herds is the theme of this book.

› Find signed collectible books: 'Calamity Jane and the Lady Wildcats'Book summary:When Calamity Jane and the Lady Wildcats was first published in 1927, Thomas Beer, with tongue in cheek if not in check, noted the book's underlying theory: "The women of the pioneer epoch--say, from 1840 to 1890--had their feet planted on a resonant drum of man's sexual necessity. They could choose the measure of the dance and the amount of noise to be exacted from creatures in a state of animal tension. Wifehood, polyandry, and an excused rapacity were open to the shrewd." Arguments and assents to that theory aside, Aikman's book is still good fun. Our fascination with Calamity Jane has, if anything, increased since Aikman exploded her pretensions and revealed her genius for publicity.[via]Other ladies of noisy repute featured in these pages are Cattle Kate Maxwell, a cattle rustler headed for a noose; Belle Starr, brainy for a desperado; Lola Montez, the tempestuous dancer and courtesan; Pearl Hart, the last lady road agent; Madame Moustache, a polite presence of gambling hells; Poker Alice Tubbs, a cigar-smoking card sharp who looked like Winston Churchill; Carry Nation, the saloon smasher; and Bridget Grant, Portland's queen of the shanghai gangs.
Special features of this edition are the "Life and Adventures of Calamity Jane by Herself" and an introduction by Watson Parker, author of Deadwood: The Golden Years.

› Find signed collectible books: 'The Cattlemen from the Rio Grande Across the Far Marias'Book summary:"This thundering book by the author of Old Jules is the story of the vast cattle industry of the American West; stupendous in length, concept, and achievement, it is the result of a lifetime of knowledge and research. . . . The whole story is here, long but never dull, written with humor and understatement."-Kirkus Service "Here, tough as whang leather, nourishing as pemmican, turbulent as Dodge City on a Saturday night in the late 1870s, is what time may well decide is the definitive history of the founding and flourishing of the cattle industry on this continent. . . . This splendid book says more (and says it better) about the most romantic figures of the old West than dozens of other books that have ranged over this familiar ground. Mari Sandoz has given herself room to move with tremendous drive and scholarship."-Victor P. Hass, Chicago Sunday Tribune "Drawing the fullest flavor from her expert descriptive technique, Mari Sandoz has written a regional history to stand among the best of its kind."-Library Journal [via]

Forty Years a Fur Trader on the Upper Missouri: The Personal Narrative of Charles Larpenteur, 1833-1872by Paul L. Hedren, Charles Larpenteur, Milo Milton QuaifeISBN 0803228880 (0-8032-2888-0)
Hardcover, Univ of Nebraska Pr
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Forty Years a Fur Trader on the Upper Missouri: The Personal Narrative of Charles Larpenteur, 1833-1872'Book summary:The son of French immigrants who settled in Maryland, Charles Larpenteur was so eager to see the real American West that he talked himself into a job with the Rocky Mountain Fur Company in 1833. When William Sublette and Robert Campbell sold out to the American Fur Company a year later they recommended the steady and sober young Larpenteur to Kenneth McKenzie, who hired him as a clerk. For forty years, as a company man and as an independent agent, the Frenchman would ply the fur trade on the upper Missouri River.Based on Larpenteurs daily journals, this memoir is unparalleled in describing the business side and social milieu of the fur trade conducted from wintering houses and subposts in the Indian country. As Paul L. Hedren notes in his introduction, Larpenteur moved comfortably among Indians and all levels of the trades hierarchy. But he lived during a time of transition and decline in the business, and his vivid recital of his personal affairs often seems to bear out his feeling that he was born for misfortune. His lasting legacy is this book, which is reprinted from the one-volume Lakeside Classics edition of 1933.[via]More editions of Forty Years a Fur Trader on the Upper Missouri: The Personal Narrative of Charles Larpenteur, 1833-1872:

The Jews & Germany: From the 'Judeo-German Symbiosis' to the Memory of Auschwitzby Enzo TraversoISBN 0803244266 (0-8032-4426-6)
Hardcover, Univ of Nebraska Pr
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'The Jews & Germany: From the 'Judeo-German Symbiosis' to the Memory of Auschwitz'Book summary:The Jews and Germany debunks a modern myth: that once upon a time there was a Judeo-German symbiosis, in which two cultures met and brought out the best in each other. Enzo Traverso argues that to the contrary, the attainments of Jews in the German-speaking world were due to the Jews aspiring to be German, with little help from and often against the open hostility of Germans. As the Holocaust proved in murder and theft, German Jews could never be German enough.Now the works of German Jews are being published and reprinted in Germany. It is a matter of enormous difference whether the German rediscovery of German Jews is another annexation of Jewish property or an act of rebuilding a link between traditions.Traverso shows how tenuous the link was in the first place. He resumes the queries of German Jews who asked throughout the twentieth century what it meant to be both Jewish and German. Hannah Arendt, Gershom Scholem, Martin Buber, Max Horkheimer, Walter Benjamin, Theodor Adorno, Ernst Bloch, Rosa Luxemburg, Franz Kafka, and many more thinkers of genius found the problems unavoidable and full of paradoxes. In returning to them Traverso not only demolishes a sugary myth but also reasserts the responsibility of history to recover memory, even if bitter and full of pain.Enzo Traverso was born in Italy in 1957. He currently works at the Bibliothéque de documentation internationale contemporaine in Nanterre, where he is in charge of the German section of documentary research. He is also the author of The Marxists and the Jewish Question: History of a Debate, 18431943.[via]More editions of The Jews & Germany: From the 'Judeo-German Symbiosis' to the Memory of Auschwitz:

› Find signed collectible books: 'Kit Carson's Autobiography'Book summary:"Notice is hereby given to all persons, that Christopher Carson, a boy about 16 years old, small of his age, but thick-set; light hair, ran away from the subscriber, living in Franklin, Howard County, Missouri, to whom he had been bound to learn the saddler's trade...One cent re-ward will be given to any person who will bring back the said boy." This notice appeared in the Missouri Intelligencer of October 6, 1826, at about the same time that Kit Carson, in the humble role of "cavvy boy" in Bent's Santa Fe caravan, embarked upon his notable career. Thirty years later, a postgraduate of the University of the Wilderness, and for a decade past a national hero, he was persuaded to dictate to a literate friend his own story of his life to date. The account--as modest and undemonstrative as Carson's feats were remarkable--covers his life as a trapper, Indian fighter, guide, and buffalo hunter up to the fall of 1856. Among the high spots during these years were his trapping expedition to California with Ewing Young (1829-1831), his celebrated duel with Shunar at the Green River rendezvous of 1837, the three expeditions with John C. Fremont (1842, 1843-1844, 1845), his exploits in the Mexican War (l846-1848), and his service as an Indian agent. Authoritatively edited by Milo M. Quaife, Kit Carson's Autobiography is an essential addition to the library of every lover of Western Americana. [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'The Lewis and Clark Journals: An American Epic of Discovery'Book summary:Following orders from President Thomas Jefferson, Captains Meriwether Lewis and William Clark set out from their wintering camp in Illinois in 1804 to search for a river passage to the Pacific Ocean. In this riveting account, editor Gary E. Moulton blends the narrative highlights of the Lewis and Clark journals so that the voices of the enlisted men and of Native peoples are heard alongside the words of the captains.All their triumphs and terrors are herethe thrill of seeing the vast herds of bison on the plains; the tensions and admiration in the first meetings with Indian peoples; Lewis's rapture at the stunning beauty of the Great Falls; the fear the captains felt when a devastating illness befell their Shoshone interpreter, Sacagawea; the ordeal of crossing the Continental Divide; the kidnapping and rescuing of Lewiss dog, Seaman; miserable days of cold and hunger; and Clark's joy at seeing the Pacific. The cultural differences between the corps and Native Americans make for living drama that at times provokes laughter but more often is poignant and, at least once, tragic.[via]More editions of The Lewis and Clark Journals: An American Epic of Discovery:

Nation Moving West Readings in the History of theby R. W. RichmondISBN 0803251572 (0-8032-5157-2)
Softcover, Univ of Nebraska Pr
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Nation Moving West Readings in the History of the'Book summary:This collection of readings dealing with the American frontier and expansion westward from the Revolution to the end of the nineteenth century has been planned to supplement the standard texts and the instructor's lectures in the college classroom, and to introduce the student to some of the rich store of primary source material bearing on this phase of the country's history. The editors have used letters, diaries, reminiscences, government records, contemporaneous newspaper and magazine stories, and the impressions of foreign visitors to re-create virtually every facet of the pioneer experience. Because the tale is told in terms of individuals--Indians, mountain men, explorers, soldiers, homesteaders, miners, circuit riders, and politicians--either speaking for themselves or reported at first hand, the great drama of conquest and survival as the nation rolled westward from the Appalachians to the Pacific unfolds with unmatched freshness and immediacy. Although it is intended primarily for students, A Nation Moving West is a book that the general reader with an interest in Western Americana will find hard to resist. Robert W. Richmond is State Archivist of Kansas at the Kansas Sate Historical Society and a lecturer in history at Washburn University. His co-editor, Robert W. Mardock, is an associate professor of history at Washburn University. Both contribute frequently to scholarly and regional publications. [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Roots of Dependency: Subsistence, Environment, and Social Change Among the Choctaws, Pawnees and Navajos'Book summary:'Richard White's study of the collapse into 'dependency' of three Native American subsistence economies represents the best kind of interdisciplinary effort. Here ideas and approaches from several fields - mainly anthropology, history, and ecology - are fruitfully combined in one inquiring mind closely focused on a related set of large, salient problems...A very sophisticated study, a 'best read' in Indian history' - "American Historical Review". 'This book is original, enlightening, and rewarding. It points the way to a holistic manner in which tribal histories and studies of Indian-white relations should be written in the future. It can be recommended to anyone interested in Indian affairs, particularly in the question of the present-day dependency plight of the tribes' - Alvin M. Josephy, Junior, "Western Historical Quarterly".'"The Roots of Dependency" is a model study. With a provocative thesis tightly argued, it is extensively researched and well written. The nonreductionist, interdisciplinary approach provides insight heretofore beyond the range of traditional methodologies...To the historiography of the American Indian this book is an important addition' - W.David Baird, "American Indian Quarterly". Richard White is a professor of history at the University of Washington. He is the winner of the Albert J. Beveridge Award of the American Historical Association, the James A. Rawley Prize presented by the Organization of American Historians and the Francis Parkman Prize from the Society of American Historians. His books include "The Middle Ground: Indians, Empires, and Republics in the Great Lakes Region, 1650-1815", "It's Your Misfortune and None of My Own: A History of the American West" and "The Organic Machine: The Remaking of the Columbia River".

Story of Western Railroads: From 1852 Through the Reign of the Giantsby Robert E. RiegelISBN 0803251599 (0-8032-5159-9)

› Find signed collectible books: 'Story of Western Railroads: From 1852 Through the Reign of the Giants'Book summary:[via]On December 23, 1852, the first train on the first railroad west of the Mississippi River steamed proudly from St. Louis to Cheltenhamthe immense distance of five miles. In that moment of exaltation, writes Robert Edgar Riegel, "flags waved, bands played, and orators prophesied the flowering of the West under the beneficent influence of the steam locomotive. For once the orators were right. An epoch was marked. Twenty-five years earlier the musical whistle of the locomotive was as yet unheard in the United States. Twenty-five years later steel tracks spanned the continent from New York to San Francisco."
In this account of the railroad conquest of the United States, the author is primarily concerned with the western phase of the story. He follows the Iron Horse west through Indian trouble, labor difficulties, civil war, and farmer disillusionment to the completion of the western railroad net. All aspects of the subjectfinancial, industrial, engineering, as well as the development of railroad regulationare covered in this classic work.
