Description
San Francisco: Colt Press, 1939 Book. Fine. Hardcover. First edition. Limited to 750 copies issued from The Colt Press by Jane Swinerton, William Roth, & Jane Grabhorn. Thin quarto. 67pp. Numerous small illustrations, title printed in red and black. Black cloth-backed light blue boards, paper spine label, decorative label on front cover. Edges of boards slightly darkened (as usual), else a fine and clean copy. A biographical sketch with an emphasis upon Thomes' contacts with early California and his mastery of a popular literary technique, as well as his experiences in the Gold Rush. Part one draws from Thomes' "Recollections of old times in California;" part two from his "The Reminiscences of a Gold Hunter" (first published in 1882 in Ballou's Monthly Magazine), and part three from "The Pioneers of '49" by Nicholas Ball (1891). This book is notorious for the boards being edge-darkened, corners showing, general wear, etc. Our copy has the obligatory edge darkening (less so than usual) and is otherwise fine. [Rocq: 16080]..

Description
Palo Alto: Lewis Osborne, 1967 Book. Fine. Hardcover. First book edition (first published serially in the Overland Monthly). Limited to 2350 copies. Foreword by John Barr Tompkins. 109pp. Illustrations from early prints, endpaper maps. Turquoise cloth, gilt anchor device stamped on front cover. A very fine copy. Stillman's narrative of his extraordinary trip back home to Baltimore from San Francisco in 1850. He traveled on the ship Plymouth from San Francisco to Realejo port in Nicaragua, followed by a canoe trip up-river to the town of Realejo. Then came a long overland trek by horse to the shark infested waters of Lake Nicaragua, two abortive attempts to run the length of Lake Nicaragua by native canoe, a successful crossing of the lake in a small, overloaded schooner, another canoe trip down to the sea, a trip on the brig, Mechanic and finally home on the Polly Hinds. Stillman returned to California in 1856 to live the rest of his life because "There is more intelligence and generous good feeling than in any country I ever saw." [Kurutz: 605-c]..
