Original three-quarter brown leather marbled boards gilt-lettered spine. Spine ends slightly rubbed a hint of scattered foxing free endpapers with offsetting from binders glue. Overall a fine copy. By Bruce Cornwall his son. This work was issued in a very small edition printed for private distribution. An important narrative of Cornwall's expedition across the plains to California. Cornwall in company with his brother and Tom Fallon the famous trapper and scout who acted as guide left St. Joe early in April of 1848 just prior to the Gold Rush. The narrative records the encounter with the Mormons 4000 strong under Brigham Young at Council Bluffs; the capture of Cornwall and his companions by the Indians; their final escape and arrival at Fort Laramie; the journey across the Rockies to Fort Bridger and Fort Hall; killing of the guide Fallon by the Hill Indians; the attempt to cross the Humboldt Sink and Desert with a copy of Frémont's Route Map as their sole dependence; final arrival in California eight thousand dollars in debt; acquirement of half a million within the year; the Squatter War Cornwall's active part therein and defense of Sutter; and more. Cornwall became a member of the State Legislature; built the first house in Sacramento; was President of the Society of California Pioneers; and assumed a position in the affairs of the state which gives to these memoirs an authority possessed by very few other records of the sort.

1916réf. C100306Philadelphia: N.l. Brown 1916. First Edition. Wraps. Paperback . Very Good. First Edition. Wraps. Small 8vo. Booklet of 15 pages. 4 1/2 inches by 6 . Original pale green printed wraps. Illus on cover of Donald Evans 'by a votary of the typewriter'. No date but WorldCat who have 10 copies suggest 1916. A good portrait of the East Coast poet maudit with much quotation from his poems some possibly printed here for the first time. Donald Evans 1884 -1921 was an American poet publisher music critic and journalist highly rated in his day and still of interest. Born in Philadelphia fought in WW1 associated with the avant-garde scene of Greenwich Village his works relate a strong sense of irony as well as his own personal bohemianism coupled with the deep influence of 1890s aestheticism. Somewhat comparable to fellow bohemian poet Maxwell Bodenheim many stories about his bohemian lifestyle circulated. Evans single-handedly founded and managed the Claire Marie press intending to publish ""New Books for Exotic Tastes"". He stated its goals as thus ""Claire Marie believes there are in America seven hundred civilized people only. Claire Marie publishes books for civilized people only. Claire Marie's aim it follows from the premises is not even secondarily commercial."" Evans was an early admirer of Gertrude Stein. He first published her Tender Buttons in 1914. Evans was also close to Wallace Stevens; it is said that the two planned to write a book of one-line poems together. His works include 1914's Sonnets from the Patagonian 1916's Two Deaths in the Bronx and 1919's Ironica. It is suspected that Evans' death in 1921 was a suicide. Very good indeed. N.l.
