The book ranges from Alaska and the Yukon through Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Texas, Utah, Washington and Wyoming. Through its pages you will relive the West's turbulent history~with its steady stream of settlers in search of land for cattle and crops, the development of continent~spanning railroads, the fortune hunters in pursuit of silver, gold and other precious metals, and its parade of rustlers, hustlers, outlaws, and lawmen. The very names themselves evoke images and memories of a fascinating era in American life. In Alaska~Copper Mountain, Dawson City, Skagway, Wild Horse. In Arizona~Contention City, Tombstone, Vulture City. In California~Chinese Camp, Gold Camp, Mother Lode, Whiskeytown. In Colorado~Cripple Creek; in Utah~Silver City. In Montana~Elkhorn, Giltedge, and Gold Creek; in Idaho~Bonanza, Custer, and Silver City; in Wyoming~Medicine Bow and Opal. In Nevada~Midas, Raw hide, and Virginia City. In New Mexico~Cimarron; in Texas~Shafter. In Oregon~Bonanza, Canyon City, and Lonerock. In Washington~Copper City, Nighthawk, and Port Gamble. Most of the towns in the book are "dead" ghosts, abandoned and decaying. Others still have life, though nothing to compare with the lusty vigor they enjoyed in their heyday. Some have never really died, but are merely much smaller than before, with a population sufficient to keep up a post office, a store or two, a restaurant or a tavern. Some are even crowded with people. The saloons are "revived", some buildings restored, and the towns serve as samples of living history. Wander the West through these pages and relive an era in America's past gone but never to be forgotten. …

From the introduction: "Since the late forties, when Will Carter began what is best described as a printing practice, most of his working days have been spent in the printshop on the lowest floor of his house at Cambridge. From the room where the press stands and from the office next to it, windows look over the garden as it slopes to the River Cam just below Magdalene Bridge. Machining is done at the opposite side of the shop to the tiers of types in their cases. Between are benches, a guillotine and stacked jobs at various stages of completion. The adjoining office is ranged with works of reference, catalogues and files all set about the central desk, its typewriter and wreaths of correspondence. The press motors on and this tall, active craftsman bobs over his machine refining its impression as a new run begins. He talks then with equal compulsion about his letter-cutting on some newly arrived Welsh slate and stage-managing an evening madrigal concert on the river. The telephone rings, an order is doubled, the self-feed whisks more than one sheet of the flimsy stock into the press and fouls it, harsh words, deft corrections, printing resumes, the phone rings, the press runs on unattended. Two features of the Rampant Lions Press emerge." Elegant booklabel of J.F. Fuggles on the front inside board, Near Fine. Newspaper cutting with obituary of Will Carter laid in.…

Condizione: very good. In collaboration with John M. Jones. Baltimore : Gallahad Press, c1999. Paperback. xli,772 pp. - Merrill's Marauders was the name of first American infantry regiment to fight on the Asian continent since the Boxer Rebellion. Assembled in 1943 as the 5037th Composite Unit (Provisional), the 3000 infantrymen who answered FDR's call for volunteers for a secret, dangerous and hazardous mission found themselves in Indian training for jungle combat. Created to spearhead undertrained (and American-led) Chinese troops in Burma and re-open the land route to China, the 5037th was expected by the Joint Chiefs of Staff to take 85 per cent casualties and be disbanded within three months. As it turned out, the Marauders existed for 11 months, operating successfully in hostile territory, pioneering long-range military activities in jungle and mountainous regions, and completing one of the most productive - and perilous military campaigns in American history. In this volume, James E.T. Hopkins - a field surgeon with the Marauders' Third Battalion - in collaboration with John M. Jones, provides a detailed history of the highly decorated unit, from the circumstances under which the unit was formed and its arduous training to the many battles in which the Marauders distinguished themselves to the unit's deactivation in July 1945. Drawing on unpublished logs, personal diaries and histories kept by members of the regiment, Hopkins provides a personal story of combat in an environment that was nearly as deadly as the enemy. As a medical officer, he witnessed the horrors of jungle combat, the resolute heroism of the volunteers who fought and the genuine respect that men and officers had for one another. He also chronicles the efforts of the unit's rear echelon to keep the combatants supplied. Condition : very good copy. ISBN 9780801864049. Keywords : CULTURAL STUDIES.…
