Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers

[1989] BROWN HARDCOVER; GILT TO TOP EDGE, LETTERING, DECORATION ON BINDING. FRONTISPIECE AND VINTAGE DRAWINGS AND PHOTOS; 416 PAGES INCLUDING INDEX AND ADVERTISING. EDITED BY MARTIN RIDGE. Compact book: 4½ x 7- inches. Condition light bumps to the top of textblock (causing some creases to corners of pages at front and rear of textblock), tiny wide spots to bottom extremity of rear cover, else overall Near Fine. Book never read. Text and illustrations are clean, clear, and very readable. Free of smoke smells from a cigarette or cigar smoker. This fascinating book covers the memoirs of Jesse A. Applegate and Lavinia Honeyman Porter who travelled the Overland Trail. They, like others, took the 2,000- month trip (about six months) of riding a slow-moving wagon over a rough road or no road at all; up and down hills and mountains; crossing bridgeless rivers and streams, some situations had to be ferried; cooking on an open fire; getting along without refrigeration, bathtubs, clothes washers, and the other appliances we take for granted. It meant surviving torrential rains, an occasional tornado, blistering heat, blinding dust and sand, swarms of insects, stampeding buffalo, a variety of diseases including scurvy and the dreaded cholera, days without water, fresh food, and forage, and the possibility of attacks by hostile Indians. A historical, collectible book. Note: We are a well-established, well-respected, ethical book dealer in business since 1991. We describe the condition of our books thoroughly and honestly, so you'll know exactly what you will be receiving when you order. We ship promptly. …

Shopbeschreibung

We are a well-established, well-respected book dealer who is professional, honest, and ethical in our business dealings. We tend to describe each book in a reserved, conservative manner, rather than oversell a book or sidestep the responsibility of addressing its flaws. Book club editions and library books along with books without dustjackets (if they came with dustjackets) are pointed out in our descriptions. We describe our books in detail, pointing out the precise condition of each book based on our opinion. It's your assurance that the book we describe is as close as possible to the book you will receive. In business since 1991, we typically have the highest ratings on major web sites. It will be a pleasure to serve you. R. Siedlecki R. Siedlecki Vintage Books…
