Description

The listing, Antique 1894 Old American West History Book 100+ Illustrations Engravings Maps Indians Gold Rush has ended.

A scarce antique 1894 hardcover history book with numerous illustrations and interesting topics. Entitled "The Making of the Great West 1512-1883" by Samuel Adams Drake, published by Charles Scribner's Sons, with 339 pages.

Names, places, topics, events, and other content mentioned in this book include American Indians, the Spaniards, De Soto, folklore, pueblos, explorers and discoveries, The Lost Colony, Gold in California and Colorado, Jonathan Carver, Yankees, Lewis and Clarke, Zebulon Pike, the Oregon Trail, the War with Mexico, Ships of the 16th Century, battles, pioneers, the railroads, several maps, forts, inventions, burial grounds, and more.

The cover is heavily soiled and worn, but the inside is bound, almost entirely clean, readable, no major tears or markings to text pages, except a small notion inside the front cover, hinges cracked, light foxing typical from age, and edge chipping on the first blank end paper.

Otherwise, very nice internally and fascinating antique historical book that would be enjoyed by an Old West or American history buff.

Hi, I don't think its a first edition. I've been giving away too many things so can't afford to pay shipping on all of them, although I've been asking for shipping rates (plus packaging, gas, etc. costs) that are usually under what it costs since the postal rates went up. Even media mail is often over $3.00 and if I can afford it and it fits I send by Priority which is quicker and more expensive, but I prefer it for the rare books since its more secure. Best wishes if you bid!
