Sobre este artículo
Philadelphia: The Wistar Institute of Anatomy and Biology, 1937. Hardcover. Small 4to. Blue cloth with gilt lettering. vii, 528pp. Frontispiece, illustrations, folding map. Very good. Faint jacket edgewear only, else internally near fine. Second edition (and first single-volume edition) of this Indian fighter and railroad executive's memoir (after the two-volume 1914 edition). Howes describes this as "Largely devoted to the opening and development of the far West from 1849 to 1860, in which Wistar played a conspicuous part before achieving fame and fortune in Pennsylvania," Wheat as a "Significant and engaging narrative by a man of great native attainments." Rather uncommon in the jacket. GRAFF 4724. HOWES W598. NEVINS I, 181. WHEAT 234.
