Unclipped DJ with $7.50 price shows light rubbing to all edges, sunning to spine, chips and small tears to all edges. Edited by David J. Weber with a Foreword by Tom L. Popejoy. "Few copies of the original 1834 edition of this book are known to exist today. More than just a rare book, however, it is also a unique item of Southwestern Americana. Albert Pike combines poetry, fiction, personal reminiscences and observations concerning journeys through Oklahoma, Texas and New Mexico. Albert Pike's restless nature led him to follow the Sante Fe Trail only ten years after its opening. With this new edition, readers can also enjoy eight more of Pike's prose stories extracted from contemporary newspapers, these stories, four of which are short stories, are herein republished for the first time."
