Men to Match My Mountains. The Opening of the Far West, 1840-1900.

New York: Doubleday & Company, Inc., 1956 Book. Very fine. Hardcover. 1st Edition. First trade edition (so stated). Very scarce thus! The true first trade edition is almost never encountered and must state "First Edition" on the copyright page, as this copy does. 459pp. Bibliography and index. Green cloth. A fine copy in pictorial dust jacket (slight chipping to top edge of jacket, price-clipped). An interwoven pageant of stories of the great westward expansion to California, Nevada, Utah, and Colorado. A good read, this work includes a "colorful gallery of characters: heroes and rascals, adventurers and plodders, men who invaded and tamed or were tamed by what geographers call the true Far West..."..
