Description:
New York: G. W. & C. B. Colton & Co., 1884., 1884. First edition. A remarkably well preserved - and obviously unused - Colton pocket map of railroads through New England, upstate New York, Hudson Valley and lower Quebec Canada. Printed on tissue-weight paper which is as bright as we have seen as are the colored outlines of boundaries. Completely in original folds as issued, attached as issued to brown cloth booklet with gilt titles. Fully expanded approx 26.5" x 38." Colton started mapping railroads early on, around 1853: this one, dated 1884, shows almost the mature development of all lines running north and south and criss-crossing east west across New England and New York. There may be a copy as good as this one, but there will be none better!

Description:
Norman: University of Oklahoma Press, 2007., 2007. First edition. First Edition. Boards with Cloth Spine. vii-xvi.-301pp. Illustrations. 3 Maps. Preface. Notes. Bibliography. Index. An excellent, thoroughly researched biography on this important Sioux Chief. "Larson has provided a richly detailed history of Native life in the Northern Plains as well as the sequence of events that left the Lakota bereft of their homeland and their traditional way of life at the close of the nineteenth century. The biography is based on extensive research and the author appears to have uncovered just about every possible tidbit of factual information about Gall, who was overshadowed by Sitting Bull, his mentor, and the other Lakota notables of the era. That Gall was a formidable foe to both tribal enemies and the white trespassers on Lakota hunting grounds is well documented. Physically impressive, bold in battle, and conspicuous in the red regalia he fancied, even Gall's adversaries gave him grudging…
