Klondyke Nuggets a Brief Description of the Great Gold Regions in the Northwest Territories and Alaska

New York: American Technical Book Co., 1897. Undetermined. good to very good. 1st Edition. 92,(4) pp.pp. 16mo. Original printed illustrated wrappers. Front wrapper has had professional restoration around the edges and is a bit brittle. A small old marginal tide line in the bottom corner of the first third of the book, which mostly does not affect the text. A good copy of a fragile item. Tourville. 2581. American Technical Series No. 5 published September 1897. This version appears to be the first American edition and varies from the Tourville description as there is a last chapter V(Miner's Luck) which is four pages long and paginated. The author states that this title was arranged with the publisher and has issued as a brief description, preparatory to the publication of his larger book of 224 pages, titled Klondike Facts. The front wrapper illustration is a golden nugget from one of the authors. As the book was printed on poor paper it seems much scarcer than the longer work the author published later. 1897
