Item description from seller

Bradford, Vermont: Green Mountain Press, 1950. Good, solid reading / reference copy. Pages wavy from exposure to moisture. Square and tight. Endpapers lightly soiled. Illustrated with frontispiece and 7 other plates. The plates include portraits, facsimile page from Fraser's journal of his travels; title page facsimile of Harmon's Journal of Voyages and Travels (1820; see Wagner-Camp-Becker #17); etc. This work by the respected historian John Spargo, contains largely hitherto unpublished material on the lives of fur-traders Daniel Williams Harmon and Simon Fraser. The book traces their lives from their births in Bennington, Vermont through their careers in Canada with the North West Company. The book is cited in Peel's BIBLIOGRAPHY OF THE PRAIRIE PROVINCES (3rd ed) #431 [but not in Peel, 2nd ed]. Curiously, mention of Simon Fraser is omitted from the 4th edition of THE PLAINS AND THE ROCKIES [1982, Wagner-Camp-Becker], but he does appear in two entries (#7 and #17) in the 3rd edition [1953, Wagner-Camp]. [This is an object lesson in why reference books need to be retained even after new and "improved" revisions are published]. See also Dictionary of Canadian Biography. Bibliography. Original blue cloth, gilt stamped. First Printing of the First Edition. Hardcover. Good reading / reference copy. 8vo. 135pp.…

Description de la boutique

About Books [Genny and Michael Winne, proprietors, formerly of Parsippany, New Jersey) has been selling rare and out of print books since 1985. Besides book fairs and mail order catalogue, long-time collectors and dealers will remember our lengthy For Sale ads in the Antiquarian Bookman and similar magazines. Our inventory of more than 40,000 volumes is especially strong in the specialities listed, but contains fine books in a variety of other fields as well. Because most of our books are stored in protective boxes, rather than on shelves, they cannot be viewed as a whole. If you want to examine specific titles, please provide 24 hours notice and we will make them available for your inspection. Phone calls to (702) 750-2722 are welcome, but please only between the hours of 8am and 10pm, west coast time. Our phone is a landline that cannot receive texts.…
