From the end of the French and Indian War through the nineteenth century, pioneers of the American book trade moved west, driven by bibliophilia, enterprise, and adventure. Richard Clement shares a history of book publishing and trade on the American frontier, focusing on Lexington, Louisville, and St. Louis, where Joseph Charless established various bookstores and print shops. In Texas, two brothers aiming to join the Army of the Republic became pioneers of Houston's newspaper scene. In California, Anton Roman shifted from mining gold to selling books, opening a shop in San Francisco and supplying foothill towns and mining camps. This narrative also highlights the men and women of the Great Plains who sought the escape of novels alongside reliable guidebooks, as well as missionaries who used books to teach English and learn Native American languages. Additionally, books transported frontier stories back East, with "The Adventures of Col. Daniel Boone" capturing the public's imagination and shaping the archetype of the frontier hero. Beautifully illustrated with seventy-five images, this work includes maps, portraits, almanacs, songbooks, guidebooks, dime novels, and more from the Library of Congress collections.…

In the absence of schools and other established cultural institutions, books served as the primary carriers of culture and civilization into newly settled regions, penetrating to even the most humble of homesteads. Thus there were many opportunities for the printers who carried presses and type along wilderness tracks, for the booksellers and itinerant salesmen who opened up intellectual horizons across the hinterlands, for the librarians who insisted on making books available for all, and for avid readers who eagerly read almost anything they could get their hands on. Frontier printers and publishers produced standard works that the new communities needed, while the established publishers in the East printed the tales of frontier adventure that shaped the nation's view of the West. People on the frontier enjoyed the adventure stories of Daniel Boone, Davy Crockett, Buffalo Bill, and the others, along with the entire nation~and indeed much of the rest of the world~but locally they required the pragmatic kinds of publications that formed the underpinnings of civilized society, such as newspapers, almanacs, books of laws and statutes, maps and guidebooks, schoolbooks, and missionary tracts. In Books on the Frontier: Print Culture in the American West, 1763~1875, Richard W. Clement considers the whole variety of such publications as he chronicles the spread of printing westward and shows how the frontier book and newspaper became a medium for the transmission of cultural values and the formation of a new kind of community.

Hardbound. Brown cloth on boards with gold embossed letters, Illustrated color DJ, 140 pp, 75 sepia-tone illustrations. From the dust jacket: From the end of the French and Indian War through the nineteenth century, the pioneers of the American book trade moved west, motivated, to varying degrees, by bibliophilia, enterprise, and a spirit of adventure. Through their own lively anecdotes and recollections, Richard Clement offers a history of book publishing and trade on the American frontier in Lexington, Louisville, and St Louis, where Joseph Charless opens various bookstores and print shops. In Texas, two brothers who set out to join the Army of Republic end up as pioneers of Houston's newspaper scene. In California, Anton Roman turns from mining gold to selling books, setting up a shop in San Francisco, while continuing to supply the foothill towns and mining camps with their literary needs. In addition to the publishers and traders this is also a story of the readers: the men and women of the Great Plains who yearned for the escape of a novel nearly as eagerly as they demanded reliable guidebooks; the missionaries who used books to teach English and learn Native American languages. And finally, books took the stories of the frontier back East, where "The Adventures of Col. Daniel Boone" caught the popular imagination and helped to shape the archetype of the frontier hero. Beautifully illustrated with seventy-five illustrations, Books on the Frontier includes examples of maps, portraits, almanacs, songbooks, guidebooks, dime novels, and more drawn from the Library of Congress collections.
