WESTERN BOOK COLLECTION 1907-1950
WESTERN BOOK COLLECTION 1907-1950 (4)For your consideration are four Western books from various authors circa 1907-1950. The authors in this collection are The Pioneers of the Tobacco Plains Country, B.M. Bower (2) and John A. Lomax. The first book is, "The Lure of the Dim Trails" by B.M. Bower published by Grosset & Dunlap and copy-righted by G.W. Dillingham Co. in 1907. The book is about Anthony Bard, a young man from the East who gets caught up in the rough-and-tumble American West in the early 20th century. Successful New York businessman Anthony Bard makes the decision to set out on an adventure and look for solace in the wide-open spaces of the West. He is drawn to the wild frontier by its allure of romance and freedom. But when he gets lost in a blizzard in Montana's Big Horn Mountains, his journey takes an unexpected turn. After being saved by some cowboys from the Diamond H Ranch, Bard slowly gets used to their hard life and discovers a hidden talent for riding and roping. The second book in this collection is "Cowboy Songs and Other Frontier Ballads" collected by John A. Lomax, published by The Macmillan Company in 1934 and copy-righted by Sturgis & Walton Company. The book is a collection of frontier songs with lyrics and sheet music. The third book in this collection is "Good Indian" by B.M. Bower, published by Grosset & Dunlap and copy-righted by Little, Brown & Company in 1912. The book is set in the American West and centers around a young Native American man named Good Indian. He resides on a reservation and is a member of the Piute tribe. As he negotiates the conflicts between his Native American heritage and the influence of the white settlers in the area, the novel delves into the complexities of his character. The story revolves around Good Indian's romantic relationship with Glory, a young woman with mixed Native American and white ancestry. Due to their dissimilar backgrounds and societal prejudices, their relationship encounters resistance and difficulties. A significant portion of the story revolves around Good Indian's struggle with his identity as he is torn between his Native American roots and contemporary expectations. The fourth and final book in this collection is "The Story of the Tobacco Plains Country" by The Pioneers of the Tobacco Plains Country, published by Olga Weydemeyer Johnson in 1950. The book is about the unique stories, experiences, and contributions of the people who have lived and shaped the region over time. It provides insights into the challenges, triumphs, and everyday life of the pioneers and inhabitants of the Tobacco Plains area. All books in this collection show good condition with some slight wear to each, but no obvious signs of damage are noted. The books measure 91/4" L x 6 3/8" W x 11/16" D to 7 5/8" L x 5 1/8" W x 1 1/2" D.
