Cloth. Condition: Good. No Jacket As Issued. Reprint Edition. Pioneers of the Rocky Mountains and the West by Charles A. McMurry, PH.D., the Third Book in the author's "Pioneer History Stories", was published by The Macmillan Company, New York, in 1905. Not an ex-library copy, per say, this 106-year-old, 5 1/2" X 7 1/8", 248-page offering is in G condition. This book evidences some separation between pages 146-147, there is some random underlining, all in pencil, and all of which seems to be found between pages 98-112 of text. There is some modest yellowing of endpapers front and back as well as pages of text, and light, spotty foxing is seen on a number of pages, but always, it seems, in margins of same. Book is stamped, in light blue, smallish letters "Training Department/O.S.N.C. Miami Univ./Copy No. 12" in three spots(front paste down page, main Title Page, and on bottom-half portion of page 93 of main text). From Preface, "The stories of early exploration in the Rocky Mountain region are spirited and interesting. They are of much value to children in all parts of the country, and to the children of the Rocky Mountains and of the Pacific Slope they furnish the best materials for early history study. This third volume of the American History Stories is designed, therefore, as a series of introductory pioneer narratives for the children. .Several of these stories are made up almost wholly of source materials, as those of Coronado, Drake, Powell, and Parkman, and to a less extent the others. Such original descriptions by eye-witnesses are simple and vivid beyond comparison. The pictures of the Royal Gorge of the Arkansas and of the First House in Salt Lake City are from photographs in the Fay Collection, of De Kalb, Illinois." This educational slice of Americana, circa 1905, illustrates at least one way in which young students were primed in History and Geography, and is wonderfully complemented by some 29 Drawings and black and white photographs as well as 6 maps, also done in black and white mode. Some of the subject/chapter titles presented for study(there are eight chapters in all) are "Lewis and Clark: Up the Missouri River and Across the Mountains To Oregon", Fremont's First Trip To the Rocky Mountains", "Fremont's Trip To Salt Lake and California", "Discovery of Gold and Trip To California in '49", "Powell's Journey Through the Grand Canyon", and "Parkman's Life in a Village of Sioux Indians". Reader, the illustrations alone are worth the pursuit of this vintage schoolbook from Professor McMurry. Also includes Contents page, List of Illustrations, and List of Maps. Thank you!.…
