Description
New York: Ziff-Davis, 1995. 24 ¾ x 37 inch two-sided poster. Some slight creasing; near fine.. A 1995 “road map” of the Web, designed by technical artist and graphic designer Timothy Edward Downs for PC Computing. In 1995, the World Wide Web had only been available to the public for a handful of years – but it was growing massively, with over ten times as many websites in 1995 as in 1994. This guide to the Web, inspired by subway maps and packaged for PC Computing readers like a AAA road map, organizes the interesting and useful sites on the early Internet by type of content, with URLs and opinionated summaries. It includes links to everything from the US EPA website to the live info page for the disastrous Woodstock 94 music festival (described on the map as “Worth seeing.”) We find five copies of Downs’ map on OCLC. A scarce piece, of interest to Internet historians – and users.

Near fine/Near fine. The printing of this book was limited to 350 numbered copies, this is copy 221. Inscribed by the author on the front free endsheet: 'To Dwight From Charley.' Caleb Greenwood was a giant figure in the early West. From his early days along the Missouri River as a trapper until years later as an octogenarian he piloted the Ide Party over the Sierra Nevada in 1845, Greenwood was involved with many of the great happenings that shaped the Western history. This book deals with his early life in the fur trade, his important role in the overland emigration to California in 1844-1845, his subsequent contribution as one of the more important trailblazers and guides, his part in the relief of the Donner Party, and his activities along the American River after the discovery of gold at Sutter's Mill in 1848. Howes K57. Streeter 3098. Charles Kelly (1889-1971) was a western historian of note, writing the first (and best) book on Butch Cassidy and the Wild Bunch. He also wrote books on the Hastings Cutoff (Salt Desert Trails) and the fur trade (Miles Goodyear and Old Greenwood. Kelly also served as the first superintendent of Capitol Reef National Monument in Southern Utah. Rare.
