1997Best.-Nr. 61816New York:: Vantage 1997. Hardcover first edition -. Fine in fine dust jacket a new copy. First printing. James H. Carson was a Virginia native who came to California with his army regiment which landed at Monterey just after the Mexican War ended in 1847. While on furlough from his military duties in 1848 he panned the tributaries of the Stanislaus River; he struck it rich at what became known as Carson's Creek. In 1850 he acted as a guide to Lt George Derby on the first topographical survey of the Tulare San Joaquin Valley. In early 1852 the Stockton newspaper The San Joaquin Republican printed thirty-three articles written by Carson from his sickbed describing humorous anecdotes from his mining experiences. His letters were collected later that year as 'Early Recollections of the California Mines.' He died in 1853 just 32 years old. This edition - the third of his letters - is the most comprehensive; it contains all of Carson's known works including articles not previously published in book form. Introduction and notes by Doris Shaw Castro. Illustrated index. 248 pp Vantage, hardcover
1905Best.-Nr. 105193Cleveland Ohio: Arthur H. Clark Company Cleveland 1905. Hardcover. A bright and crisp near fine to fine- set with minor wear to exterioe. Three volumes in maroon cloth; 329 pages: map facsimile; 25 cm; approx 300-400 pages per volumes; bibl. footnotes. A complete set of three volumes of Long's Expedition. Comprising Volumes XIV XV & XVI of Thwaites' Early Western Travels. A cornerstone of Western Americana. "Stephen Harriman Long’s expedition of 1819–1820 was one of the most ambitious government surveys of the trans-Mississippi West in the early republic. Commissioned by Secretary of War John C. Calhoun and led by Major Long of the U.S. Topographical Engineers it aimed to explore the Missouri and Platte River systems assess natural resources and evaluate routes for commerce and military posts. The scientific corps included Edwin James as botanist and geologist Thomas Say as naturalist Titian Peale as artist and William Baldwin as surgeon though Baldwin died early in the journey. Their route carried them from Pittsburgh down the Ohio and Mississippi up the Missouri and then west along the Platte into what is now Colorado where they first described Long’s Peak. From there the party turned south and east through the Plains eventually looping back through Arkansas. The expedition’s official record was prepared by Edwin James in 1823 a three-volume Account of an Expedition from Pittsburgh to the Rocky Mountains. It offered rich detail in natural history ethnography and geology and included the first recorded ascent of a Rocky Mountain peak. At the same time it gave currency to the idea of the “Great American Desert” casting the High Plains as arid and unfit for agriculture—a judgment that influenced U.S. policy and delayed settlement. Long’s maps and James’s descriptions became important tools in shaping federal attitudes toward western lands and Native nations. The work was later reprinted in Reuben Gold Thwaites’ monumental series Early Western Travels 1748–1846 occupying volumes 14 through 16 and it remains a cornerstone of American exploration literature.

Gebonden, Hardcover 160 pages, Illustrated. full colour, 26x26cm. . ISBN 9789492576361. JAN VAN NOUHUYS is de meest toonaangevende Nederlandse zilversmid van de afgelopen decennia. Hij verhief het ambacht van zilversmeden tot autonome kunst. Daarbij denkend en werkend vanuit het eeuwenoude vakmanschap; én door anderen te inspireren en te motiveren een plek op te eisen voor hedendaags zilver. Zo initieerde hij het spraakmakende ?Zilver in Beweging? en realiseerde in ruim veertig jaar een oeuvre waarin artistieke zeggingskracht en vakmanschap samengaan. Jan van Nouhuys ? zilverkunst ? grondlegger van de Nederlandse hedendaagse zilverkunst vertelt het verhaal van een man die zilversmid werd, gefascineerd raakte door het vakmanschap van zijn illustere voorgangers uit de zeventiende eeuw, en besefte dat dit vakmanschap het zilver ook een actuele waarde verschaft als de zilversmid tegelijkertijd zich de vrijheid van de kunstenaar eigen maakt. Journalist en kunstcriticus Marc Couwenbergh combineerde zijn monografie over Jan van Nouhuys en het zilver, een verhaal vol scepsis, wantrouwen, bijna-faillisement én eclatant succes, met een analyse van hoe Van Nouhuys, zoekend naar een eigen beeldtaal, een oeuvre opbouwde dat uniek is in kwaliteit en kwantiteit. Een uitgebreid register maakt het boek ook tot een uniek naslagwerk over het moderne Nederlandse zilver. Ruim zestig objecten uit het oeuvre staan in het boek afgebeeld, gefotografeerd door Fred Weegenaar en Rob Glastra. De vormgeving van het boek door Feike de Keijzer-Jansen sluit aan op het belang dat Jan van Nouhuys hecht aan vakmanschap en artisticiteit.
Best.-Nr. B9781501382390Paperback / softback. New. Lynne Tatlock examines the transmission diffusion and literary survival of Jane Eyre in the German-speaking territories and the significance and effects thereof 1848-1918. Engaging with scholarship on the romance novel she presents an historical case study of the generative power and protean nature of Brontë’s new romance narrative in German translation adaptation and imitation as it involved multiple agents from writers and playwrights to readers publishers illustrators reviewers editors adaptors and translators. Jane Eyre in German Lands traces the ramifications in the paths of transfer that testify to widespread creative investment in romance as new ideas of women’s freedom and equality topped the horizon and sought a home especially in the middle classes. As Tatlock outlines the multiple German instantiations of Brontë’s novel—four translations three abridgments three adaptations for general readers nine adaptations for younger readers plays farces and particularly the fiction of the popular German writer E. Marlitt and its many adaptations—evince a struggle over its meaning and promise. Yet precisely this multiplicity repetition redundancy and proliferation combined with the romance narrative’s intrinsic appeal in the decades between the March Revolutions and women’s franchise enabled the cultural diffusion impact and long-term survival of Jane Eyre as German reading. Though its focus on the circulation of texts across linguistic boundaries and intertwined literary markets and reading cultures Jane Eyre in German Lands unsettles the national paradigm of literary history and makes a case for a fuller and inclusive account of the German literary field. paperback
