Item description from seller

8vo, [viii], 284, [v] pages brown cloth; ex libris Dorothy Arbuckle. Griffith was born in Tippecanoe County, Indiana. He took Horace Greeley's advice to "Go West, Young Man". He became a pioneeer at Minneola, Franklin County, Kansas [ now a ghost town ]. He moved to Lawrence and established trade with the Natives. Quantrell's Raiders burned his store, his house, his carriage, and stole his horses. "I had nothing left . but my wife and child, a pony belonging to Mrs. Griffith, the clothes on our backs and $10 I had saved from the cash drawer when the guerrillas looted the store." "The raiders had taken all the good horses they could find and had left their wornout ones behind. These were gathered up by a committee, sold and the money distributed to those whose horses were stolen. I got $15 of the fund." The final chapter covers his retirement to Los Angeles.

Description de la boutique

Joyce And Company, established 1975, works out of an office near Chicago's Loop. There are usually 15-20,000 books on-site and available for browsing. Mr. Joyce was a founding partner of the former Chicago Rare Book Center, of Chicago and Evanston, Illinois. Proprietor Tom Joyce appeared regularly as the book appraiser on "The Appraisal Fair", seen on Home And Garden Television, HGTV. We still do appraisals on a wide variety of subjects, from literature to history, fine books, children's, presses, theology, law, medicine, maps, autographs. These topics are reflected in our inventory, and much more, including Sherlockiana. In addition to regional institutions nearby Chicago and Illinois, we have been able to place rare materials with the American Antiquarian Society, The Library of Congress, The Bodleian Library, Harvard and Yale Universities, the Presidential Libraries of Abraham Lincoln and George Washington, et cetera. …
