The scarce expanded second edition of Emma Shepard Hill's "modern overland" recounting her experiences when, as a thirteen year-old, she and her family travelled "across the plains during the Indian uprising in the summer of 1864." Hill explains that in the late 1880s she outlined her narrative with the assistance of her father, and also by consulting her sister's diary of the journey (later destroyed). She combined these sources, as well as her letters from the period, to craft this account of their adventures crossing overland from their home in Ohio to Colorado, where they settled. The first forty pages describe the family's experiences as they travelled from Quincy, Illinois, by rail to St. Joseph, and from there by steamer to Atchison. They then went to Fort Kearny and via the South Platte to Denver, eventually settling at Empire City. All along the way, Hill writes, they felt fearful due to the widely-reported uprisings by the Sioux, Cheyenne, and Arapaho tribes. She describes burned out ranches and other evidence of raids that led her family to join a larger wagon train, and describes the precautions taken to guard the women and children. She admits that the travellers themselves were courting danger, as she did when "raiding a chief's burial tree, helping herself to ornaments and arrowheads" (Mintz). The rest of the text describes their life in Empire City, Colorado, and combines her letters of the period with her recollections. Her father, a lawyer, practiced for several years in nearby Georgetown. The in-text illustrations are by Jane Porter Robertson, and the plates feature a portrait of Hill from a daguerreotype taken at the start of the journey, a portrait of her father, and an image of the log house they lived in. This second edition of A Dangerous Crossing is based on the 1914 first edition, but with significantly expanded content and the additional story "Seven Lean Years," which follows Hill and her husband, Joe, through the first seven years of their marriage, when financial panics, crop failures and poor employment opportunities made for a meager existence. Emma Shepard Hill's account of her travels on the plains and early marriage is highly reminiscent of Laura Ingalls Wilder's account of her girlhood travelling with her family across the prairies of Wisconsin, Kansas, Minnesota, Iowa, Dakota Territory and Missouri in the 1870s and 1880s as told in her in the Little House books. The first publication of Hill's account of her life, however, precedes the first publication of Wilder's account by eighteen years. WYNAR 347. MINTZ 564. MATTES 1957 (noting only the second edition of 1924). HOWES H481 (second edition). GRAFF 1887. Original gilt green cloth, original pictorial dust jacket. Cloth slightly rubbed at corners and spine ends. Ownership signature on front pastedown, bookplate and later ownership stamp on front free endpaper verso, else clean and bright. Near fine. Dust jacket very good, a bit worn at joints and extremities.

A presentation copy, inscribed by the author to her niece and nephew. An uncommon "modern overland," recounting Emma Hill's experiences when, as a thirteen-year-old, she and her family travelled "across the plains during the Indian uprising in the summer of 1864." Hill explains that in the late 1880s she outlined her narrative with the assistance of her father, and also by consulting her sister's diary of the journey (later destroyed). She combined these sources, as well as her letters from the period, to craft this account of their adventures crossing overland from their home in Ohio to Colorado, where they settled. The first forty pages describe the family's experiences as they travelled from Quincy, Illinois, by rail to St. Joseph, and from there by steamer to Atchison. They then went to Fort Kearny and via the South Platte to Denver, eventually settling at Empire City. All along the way, Hill writes, they felt fearful due to widely-reported uprisings by the Sioux, Cheyenne, and Arapaho tribes. Hill describes burned out ranches and other evidence of raids that led her family to join a larger wagon train, and describes the precautions taken to guard the women and children. She admits that the travellers themselves would often court danger, as she did when "raiding a chief's burial tree, helping herself to ornaments and arrowheads" (Mintz). The rest of the text describes their life in Empire City, Colorado, and combines her letters of the period with her recollections. Her father, a lawyer, practiced for several years in nearby Georgetown. The in-text illustrations are by Jane Porter Robertson, and the plates feature a portrait of Hill from a daguerreotype taken at the start of the journey, a portrait of her father, and an image of the log house they lived in. The author's undated inscription reads, "Mr. and Mrs. V.G. Smedley from Aunt Emma Shepard Hill." Mattes is critical of Hill's account, calling it "episodic and untrustworthy," but that judgment is a bit harsh; Hill's account is well-written and detailed. Not in the Eberstadts' list of "modern" overland narratives. This first edition is quite uncommonseveral of the references note only the 1924 second edition, and the Graff catalogue lists only the second edition, though recording the existence of this 1914 edition. This is only the second copy we have handled, and the first with an inscription. WYNAR 347. MINTZ 564. MATTES 1957 (2nd ed). HOWES H481 (2nd ed). GRAFF 1887 (note). Half title. Original green cloth, gilt, expertly rebacked with original backstrip laid down. Small closed tear to fore-edge of pp.53-58. Very good.
