Seller: B & B Rare Books, Ltd., ABAA (United States)
Condition: Near Fine
Description: Boston: L.C. Page, and Company, 1908 With eight sepia-toned illustrations by May Austin Claus and William Anton Joseph Claus, including a frontispiece with original tissue guard. First edition, first printing, with "First Impression, April, 1908" statement to copyright page and eight pages of ads to rear. Publisher's dark brown cloth, with gilt lettering to the front board and spine, and illustration of a woman's profile pasted to front board; lacking the scarce original dust jacket. Near fine, with some rubbing and a few very light marks to front board illustration, a touch of dimming to gilt on front board, bottom edge and corner of front board slightly bumped, contemporary ownership inscriptions to front free endpaper and rear pastedown, tiny nick (possible insect damage) to fore edge of pp. 209 - 246, and light spotting to a few pages. Overall, an extremely attractive copy of the first book in L. M. Montgomery's beloved Avonlea series. Housed in a custom brown and tan half morocco clamshell box. Anne of Green Gables is a story about a young orphan girl, Anne Shirley, who is sent to live on a farm on Prince Edward Island with a family who had originally intended to adopt a boy. Montgomery drew much of the novel's setting from her own childhood experiences living with her grandparents on the eastern coast of the island. Mark Twain gave the novel important early praise, hailing Anne Shirley as "the dearest and most moving and delightful child since the immortal Alice." Montgomery went on to write seven sequels to Anne of Green Gables, the first being Anne of Avonlea (1909). . First Edition. Hard Cover. Near Fine. Illus. by Claus, M.A. (May Austin); Claus, William A.J. (William Anton Joseph).

Title: Among the Shoshones
Author: Wilson, Elijah Nicholas ("Uncle Nick")
Seller: Ken Sanders Rare Books, ABAA (United States)
Condition: Fine
Description: Salt Lake City, UT: Skelton Publishing Company, 1910. First edition. Hardcover. Fine. 222pp. Octavo [21 cm] in red cloth with decorations on spine and front cover embossed in yellow and black (variant colors of binding cloth are known to exist; no priority known). Very faint rubbing to extremities, front board corners just barely exposed, a few light stains to rear board (only visible from an oblique angle); rear endsheet cracked along the hinge, text is crisp and unmarked. Autobiographical story of Elijah Nicholas Wilson, a Mormon boy on the wild western frontier. Wilson pursued many different occupations in his life, including Pony Express rider, stagecoach driver, trapper, rancher, and Indian agent. He spent time living with the Shoshone tribe, and was the ‘adopted brother’ of Chief Washakie. He was friendly towards the Native people, championed their causes, and spoke out against atrocities committed against them. This work has enjoyed consistent popularity for more than a century, and the edited, sanitized version is still in print today. This is a rare copy of the first edition, presumably suppressed by the Mormon Church. It contains an embittered account of how Wilson’s fiancée was prevailed upon to become the second wife of an elderly polygamist (pp. 194-200). Allegedly only twenty copies of the unrevised first edition were issued; the remainder were destroyed prior to distribution. The text was purged of the offending section and the revised, sanitized book was issued in an otherwise almost identical format in the same year (1910). Wilson was also critical of LDS Church leaders' handling of the Mountain Meadows Massacre, and of their handling of Indian affairs. Wilson, Wyoming was named in honor of him. Later revised by Howard R. Driggs and reissued as "The White Indian Boy: The Story of Uncle Nick Among the Shoshones." Flake 9909. Graff 4702. Howes W518.
