‎UNDER THE MOUNTAIN WALL. A Chronicle of Two Seasons in the Stone Age.‎

‎New York: Viking 1962. Second state book club. Black cloth endpaper maps. xvi 256 xvi-xxxii photo credits and index pp. Main body of text printed on pale green paper. Photo plates inserted. A fine copy no owner names. Black dust jacket has mild rubbing to spine folds and front flap fold 1 cm tear to front panel VG otherwise no chips flap price intact. The author's experiences in 1961 among a stone age people while with the Harvard-Peabody Expedition to New Guinea. This copy has the second grouping of plates placed between pp 160-61 instead of at the end where the author intended and in fact insisted they be in order not to interrupt his narrative. Such copies were the first bound but the publisher caught the error before publication and sold almost all of those copies off to a book club and then corrected the placement for their own trade issue. The book club cancelled the contents leaf and supplied a new one attached to the stub which locates the plates in the place that they actually appear in the book making a 2nd state of the first printing the first published trade edition is actually the 2nd printing. Copies with the plates in the wrong place and with the contents leaf integral and incorrectly locating the plates are of the first state - quite rare as very few got out. At the bottom of the new contents leaf are the words "Book Club Edition" an unusual place for such a designation and the only place on the book or jacket that phrase appears. The jacket is not a book club jacket but the regular trade jacket. Obviously the edition size of this book club issue is not the large number of the typical book club edition. First printing.

‎Ancient Mariner The Amazing Adventures of Samuel Hearne the Sailor Who Walked to the Arctic Ocean‎

‎Toronto: Harpercollins Publishers Ltd. Very Good in Very Good dust jacket. 2003. First Edition; First Printing. Hardcover. 0002000989 . DJ and boards show very light shelf wear. ; A bright solid book dustjacket in Mylar unclipped.; B&W Illustrations; 9.0 X 6.3 X 1.3 inches; 334 pages; "Samuel Hearne is grudgingly recognized as the eighteenth-century British adventurer who during a remarkable three-year odyssey became the first European to reach the Arctic coast of North America. In Ancient Mariner McGoogan demonstrates that Hearne was far more complex accomplished and influential than the history books suggest. Beginning with Hearne�s entry into the Royal Navy at twelve years of age McGoogan paints an authentic portrait of eighteenth-century British life both on and off the wooden sailing ships. After serving as a midshipman during the tumultuous Seven Years� War Hearne moved to London and in 1766 just twenty-one joined the Hudson�s Bay Company. Based at the company�s northernmost fort an ambitious Hearne embarked on an overland quest for rich veins of copper supposedly located �far to the northward where the sun don�t set��and also to discover the Northwest Passage. In his posthumously published journal Hearne described the three-year odyssey�a harrowing journey marked by hardship hunger and disappointment and mitigated only by his friendship with the legendary Dene leader Matonabbee. Hearne trekked more than 3500 miles. His epic adventure culminated in the infamous and still-controversial massacre at �Bloody Falls��an event that as McGoogan shows changed him forever. Drawing on naval history fur-trade history and literary history McGoogan portrays Hearne as a skilled navigator a pioneering anthropologist a ground-breaking naturalist and a gifted natural artist. He fell in love with a native woman and never fully recovered after she died tragically." . Harpercollins Publishers Ltd. hardcover‎

‎MCPHERSON ROBERT S. & SUSAN RHOADES NEEL‎

‎Mapping The Four Corners: Narrating The Hayden Survey Of 1875‎

‎University of Oklahoma Press Norman: 2016. Hardcover with dustjacket. Brand new book. In 1875 a team of cartographers geologists and scientists under the direction of Ferdinand V. Hayden entered the Four Corners area for what they thought would be a calm summer's work completing a previous survey. Their accomplishments would go down in history as one of the great American surveying expeditions of the nineteenth century. By skillfully weaving the surveyors' diary entries field notes and correspondence with newspaper accounts historians Robert S. McPherson and Susan Rhoades Neel bring the Hayden Survey to life. Mapping the Four Corners provides an entertaining engaging narrative of the team's experiences contextualized with a thoughtful introduction and conclusion. Accompanied by the great photographer William Henry Jackson Hayden's team quickly found their trip to be more challenging than expected. The travelers describe wrangling half-wild pack mules trying to sleep in rain-soaked blankets and making tea from muddy alkaline water. Along the way they encountered diverse peoples evidence of prehistoric civilizations and spectacular scenery�Hispanic villages in Colorado and New Mexico; Mesa Verde Hovenweep and other Anasazi sites; and the Hopi mesas. Not everyone they met was glad to see them: in southeastern Utah surveyors fought and escaped a band of Utes and Paiutes who recognized that the survey meant dispossession from their homeland. Hayden saw his expedition as a scientific endeavor focused on geology geographic description cartographic accuracy and even ethnography but the search for economic potential was a significant underlying motive. As this book shows these pragmatic scientists were on the lookout for gold beneath every rock grazing lands in every valley and economic opportunity around each bend in the trail. The Hayden Survey ultimately shaped the American imagination in contradictory ways solidifying the idea of "progress"�and government funding of its pursuit�while also revealing via Jackson's photographs a landscape with a beauty hitherto unknown and unimagined. 30 black-and-white Illustrations 5 maps 304 pages 6" x 9". Robert S. McPherson is Professor of History at Utah State University-Eastern Blanding Campus. He is the author or coauthor of numerous books on Navajo history and the history of the Southwest including Under the Eagle: Samuel Holiday Navajo Code Talker with Samuel Holiday and Viewing the Ancestors: Perceptions of the Anaasazi Mokwic and Hisatsinom.
