WINTER BROTHERS: A Season at the Edge of America
NY: Harcourt Brace Jovanovich, 1980. ARC. Soft cover. Very Good. Item #SHEL2093
Uncorrected Proofs. Tall printed blue wraps. 188pp. Proof of the author's second book, which is about James Swan (1818-1900) of Washington Territory and State. From History Link: "James G. Swan lived one of the most varied and colorful lives in the early history of Washington Territory. He was variously an oysterman, customs inspector, secretary to congressional delegate Isaac Stevens, journalist, reservation schoolteacher, lawyer, judge, school superintendent, railroad promoter, natural historian, and ethnographer. Above all, Swan was a chronicler. He wrote one of the earliest books describing life in Washington Territory, two Smithsonian monographs, many newspaper articles and technical publications, and more than 60 volumes of still-unpublished diaries." Better than good copy. Shallow crease lower corner front cover. Just a trace of fading to top. Very scarce.
