Sobre este artículo
Hamden, CT: Archon Books, 1977. First edition. Hardcover. An association copy, inscribed by the editor on the title page: "For Howard Lamar, with pleasure and admiration, and with warmest thanks, Christiane Fischer, 23. IX. 1977." Lamar was an influential historian of the American West at Yale and was for two years the president of Yale. He wrote about the myths of the American West and its territorial histories. He provides a blurb for this book on its front flap. "In this book, Christiane Fischer sets the record straight by letting us see what the young west [sic]--particularly the territories that are now California, Nevada, and Arizona--looked like to the perceptive eyes of twenty-five women." Laid in are some publicity sheets. Very good in red buckram; in a very good jacket with browning to spine. A nice association.

Sobre Rural Hours
Rural Hours (formerly Wood + River = Books, est. 2019) specializes in ecology, natural history, nature writing, the environment, environmental literature, and contemporary essay, with a special passion for association copies and notable inscriptions. We draw our name from the popular-but-then-forgotten book by Susan Fenimore Cooper (published in 1850), generally considered the first work of environmental creative nonfiction by a woman in the U.S. We are interested in challenging and expanding the canon of environmental literature and finding books that tell remarkable stories and illuminate the tradition of writing about place and natural history.
