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.
