Featured in this lot is 1908 "The Nez Perces Since Lewis And Clark" by Kate C. McBeth. When William Clark and a ragged band of hunters stumbled on to Idaho’s Weippe Prairie on September 20, 1805, they must have been a pitiful sight. For three weeks, the Corps of Discovery had been trekking west through the Bitterroot Mountains, a range of the Rockies. Often lost, trapped in the snow, and finally starving, the Corps was reaching the limits of both physical and mental endurance. Along the sparkling Clearwater River, they had found an encampment of Indians Clark described as “portly” and “handsome featured,” drying fish and baking delicious bread from camas roots. They were cautious but hospitable. Soon they were all friends, and Clark and his men were invited to supper. Clark recorded in his journal that he had met the “Chopunnish or Pierced noses.” Today their name is rendered as Nez Perce. This book features a green/brown hardback cloth cover with an imprinted logo showing a torch, a backwards "F" and an "R". The spine shows the title, the author and the copyright company "Fleming H. Revell Co." in gold embossed lettering. Overall the book shows wear consistent with its age, but overall good condition. The front cover is loose but connected. All interior pages are in good condition with no tears or wear. The book measures 8 1/4" L x 5 1/2" W x 1 1/4" D.
