New York: N.Y. Tribune , 1874. Faded olive green wraps, sewn booklet. 12 pages. Offprint from the original article in NY Tribune, Dec. 22d, 1874. The reporter, Wm. C. Wyckoff, can barely contain his scorn from Marsh and his tactics. This was an ill-advised trip, fraught with poor weather and Indian problems which Marsh did little to alleviate. Text contains a small map and illustrations of a couple of fossils. This piece is really quite a giggle if you have studied any of Marsh's career. Covers faded, lower corner of front cover broken off at an angle, with undlying page corner toned. Otherwise a clean tight copy with lighlty toned pages. ARCHAEOLOGY 5121. Offprint Edition. Paperbound. Good Condition. Thin 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" Tall. Archaeology. more information
