Description
Nashville, TN: Cokesbury Press, 1925 Book. Very fine. Hardcover. 2nd Edition. Second edition, revised. Thick octavo. 2 volumes in one. Pp. xvi, 1044. Frontis, numerous portraits. Publisher's gilt-lettered dark blue cloth. Bookplate. A very fine copy with the extremely elusive pictorial dust jacket (foot of jacket spine shows two small chips with equally small stains from tape (removed), otherwise fine. With the bookplate of well-known Western Americana collector, R. F. McGraw. "This vast compilation of original accounts by old trail drivers is one of the best cattle books, and the largest collection of first hand narratives of the range cattle industry ... the Nashville editions contain material not in the ... original volumes ... the first editions are very crudely produced. The Nashville editions, on the other hand, are on good paper and well-bound ... an essential foundation book for any range library" (Reese).

Description
1970. [Texas] [Labor History] [Environmental History] [Photography] Unidentified photographer, Texas oil field photographs, circa 1970s document petroleum extraction, industrial labor, and land transformation in the American Southwest during a period of sustained energy production and infrastructure expansion. The images provide direct visual evidence of drilling operations, mechanical systems, and work crews engaged in oil field development, situating human labor within the broader environmental changes associated with resource extraction. The archive supports research into energy history, industrial technology, and the reshaping of rural landscapes through oil production in the late twentieth century. Texas, circa 1970s. Archive of 82 original color snapshot photographs, each measuring approximately 3.5 x 4.75 inches, depicting oil drilling sites, machinery, and surrounding terrain. The photographs include wide views of steel derricks and drilling rigs with visible components such as rotary tables, crown blocks, and mud systems, as well as close range images of workers engaged in construction, welding, and equipment alignment. Additional scenes show cement mixing and foundational work amid limestone aggregates, trailer mounted compressors and generators, oil storage tanks, and transport vehicles positioned throughout the worksite. The surrounding environment is documented through images of cleared access roads, graded earth, holding ponds, fencing, and mesquite brush, alongside occasional views of adjacent ranch life including livestock enclosures and domestic scenes. The archive situates oil extraction within the broader transformation of rural Texas landscapes during the late twentieth century, when energy production reshaped land use, infrastructure, and local economies. The juxtaposition of heavy industrial equipment with agricultural and residential elements illustrates the integration of petroleum development into existing rural environments. Seasonal variation, including a snow covered pasture, further emphasizes the continuity of operations across changing conditions. Light edge wear and minor curling to some prints; colors remain strong and images clear. Overall very good condition. A substantial photographic record of oil industry labor and environmental change in Texas during the 1970s.

Very Good
Description
Stated First Edition; A Very Good or better book in a Very Good dust jacket. SIGNED and inscribed by the author to an attached sheet (apparently another dust jacket front panel). A handsome copy of this one volume account of the US Navy in WWII; basically a condensation of Morison's 15 volume masterpiece "A History of United States Naval Operations in World War II"; Morison a multiple award winning author, including 2 Pulitzer Prizes, and served with the Navy as a Lt. Commander during WWII as a researcher and historian. This copy is in very good or better condition with mild rubbing to the board edges and spine ends; flaps from another dust jacket affixed to the front pastedown and rear free papers. Housed in a crisp and clean very good dust jacket that shows light rubbing and chipping to the ends and edges, mild darkening to the spine, and a few pieces of tape repair. Overall, a very presentable copy of an important WWII title; this book rarely found signed by Morison. Not remaindered, not price clipped, not ex-library; in a protective Mylar sleeve and will ship carefully wrapped in a sturdy box.
