Title: Map of the Black Hills of South Dakota and Wyoming with Full Descriptions of Mineral Resources, Etc. [1897]
Creator: [Mining History – South Dakota – Wyoming] Scott, Samuel
Seller: Auger Down Books (United States)
Condition: Map folded with very small tears at folds, else Fine; booklet with staining from cover and staples; overall excellent to Near Fi
Description: Custer, South Dakota: E. P. Noll & Co, 1897. Packet measuring 4 ½ x 7 ½ inches, containing a forty-page booklet and fold-out map measuring 28 ½ x 31 inches. Map folded with very small tears at folds, else Fine; booklet with staining from cover and staples; overall excellent to Near Fine.. The Black Hills gold rush began with George Armstrong Custer’s expedition there in 1874, breaking the US government’s treaty with the Sioux and ultimately leading to the Great Sioux War and Custer’s death at the Battle of the Little Bighorn. The expedition, and the discovery of gold in the hills, led to a rush of Euro-American settlers to the area—and a surge in promotional pamphlets advertising the area’s richness, often in ornate language and beyond what could be reasonably true.[1] Offered here is a slightly more sober promotional booklet, with a map of the region, authored by mining engineer Samuel Scott. The booklet contains a detailed discussion of the region’s geology, including descriptions of geologic formations and periods and of the types of rocks and minerals to be found. It also describes various tourist attractions, such as hot mineral springs, fishing and hunting, and areas like Wind Cave and Sylvan Lake. On mining, though, Scott takes some liberties, writing: “Mining investments, with ordinary business precautions, are the safest and best paying that can be made. There is no more risk in making a mining investment than in an investment of real estate if the investor will use some precaution in each case.” The map is large and attractive, containing an inset map of the famous Old West town of Deadwood and its surround. We find thirty-one copies of the booklet on OCLC. [1] Watson Parker, “Booming the Black Hills,” South Dakota History 11, no. 1 (January 1980): 35–52.

Paxson, early in his career was a newspaperman and subsequently went into law, and eventually served as a Supreme Court Justice in Pennsylvania for eighteen years.

M., History of Bucks County, Pennsylvania [New York-Chicago: The Lewis Publishing Co., 1905]. Paxson was the son of Thomas Paxson, a prominent Pennsylvania Quaker, of Bucks County. The correspondence deals with all aspects of Paxson's career his newspaper holdings, real estate and land investments both in Pennsylvania and in Virginia, law and politics, and family. Many of the letters deal with Paxson's newspaper and printing business which included papers in both Bucks County and Chester County, Pennsylvania.

Small portion of lower corner of front wrap chipped away. Light wear and minor soiling. Text evenly tanned, faint occasional foxing in map margins.

Title: Poets of Today: Harry Duncan- Poems and Translations; Murray Noss- Samurai and Serpent Poems; May Swenson- Another Animal: Poems
Author: Wheelock, John Hall (introduction); Harry Duncan; Murray Noss; May Swenson
Seller: Ken Sanders Rare Books, ABAA (United States)
Condition: Very good
Description: New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1954. First Edition. Hardcover. Very good/Very good. 179pp. Octavo [21.9cm]. Black cloth spine and boards with gilt lettering and red ornament. Front board slightly bowed. Very light rubbing at the head and tail of the spine. Front free and paste-down endpapers slightly toned. Dust Jacket rubbed along the front fore-edge; rubbed and with one small closed tear along the spine. Upper corner of the front flap has been clipped, but price still present. Bookplate signed by May Swenson tucked in. The publication, in one volume, of three complete separate poems by three contemporary poets is an experiment. It is hoped that the larger, more impressive volume, offering the reader a greater variety and wider range, will attract and reward the audience that appears to have lost intrest in the usual slim book of verse. The publishers have been most fortunate in finding for this combined volume three young poets who have not yet been published in book form. All are sincere poets working within the vital poetic movement of our day, but with diverse skills and very divergent methoods and points-of-view. In fact, it would be difficult to find three poets more distinct and individual in tone and substance than the three so happily brought together here. The complex and highly personal vision of reality to be found in the poems of Harry Duncan; the subtly conveyed poignance of the portraitures and interpretations of a defeated people as rendered by a soldier of the occupying power on duty in Japan, who happened also to be a poet, Murray Noss; the compressed essences and abstractions which the poetry of May Swenson wrings from the apperances of things - these, all three, so diverse and so good, gain by their combination and juxtaposition.-- From inside jacket flaps.
