A PEEP AT BUFFALO BILL'S WILD WEST [SIGNED]

Buffalo Bill [Cody, William Frederick]

[New York]: McLoughlin Bros., [1887] An about Very Good copy (spine nearly perished, covers with some tears, modest soiling) with the leaves in surprisingly good condition and in the Publisher's original stiff printed color wrappers. SIGNED BY CODY on the recto of the last leaf as follows: W. F. Cody / "Buffalo Bill". The book was issued to accompany the famous Wild West Shows presented by the great soldier, bison hunter, and showman. Given the ephemeral nature of this publication, few will have survived. Copies of the publication itself are quite scarce, and books signed by Cody are quite scarce as well. Signed copies of this publication, which itself was a component of the great Wild West Shows, SIGNED BY BUFFALO BILL, ARE RARE INDEED. Very Good. First edition.

The Wonders of the Colorado Desert (Southern California) Its Rivers and its Mountains, its Canyons and its Springs, its LIfe an

James, George Wharton

Boston:: Little, Brown, and Compant,, 1906. First edition. Two volumes. xliv, 270pp, illus, folding map; xiv, 271-547pp, illus. Some external wear and soil, spines faded, hinges starting, overall a very good set. The extended title continues, "Including an Account of a Recent Journey made down the Overflow of the Colorado River to the Mysterious Salton Sea." James (1858-1923) was an indefatigable self-promoter, observer, and writer, having penned some 40 books and innumerable articles and pamphlets many on the American Southwest. His writing leans toward romanticism, and enthusiasm for natural environments, idealization of aboriginal lifeways, and health faddism. The "mysterious" Salton Sea of the title was caused by the Colorado River breaching an Imperial Valley dike in 1905 after a year of heavy rainfall and snowmelt. It took two years to restore the rivers' previous channel and was thus still filling when James visited. Farquhar says of the account, "The best starting point for any study of he Colorado Desert, which paradoxically is closely associated with the River. The illustrations, both those from sketches and those from photographs, are of considerable historical importance, as are the chapters relating to the Salton Sea." Farquhar The Books of the Colorado River & Grand Canyon 85, Howes J44.
