Offered in this lot is a very Rare First Edition of "History Of Our Wild West", D. M. Kelsey 1901, The Charles C. Thompson Chicago, publisher, 150 illustrations. Some editions of this book attribute the authorship to Buffalo Bill Cody. The book is a comprehensive account of the American Wild West and the lives of pioneers who settled in the region. Covering the period from the early 1800s to the late 1800s, the book provides a detailed description of the events, people, and places that shaped the history of the Wild West. It is divided into several chapters, each of which covers a different aspect of the Wild West. The first chapter provides an overview of the region and its geography, while the second chapter discusses the Native American tribes that lived in the area before the arrival of the pioneers. The subsequent chapters cover the pioneers' journey westward, their struggles and triumphs, and the various conflicts that arose between them and the Native Americans. Also included are several stories of pioneer life, which provide a glimpse into the daily lives of the people who settled in the Wild West. These stories cover a range of topics, including hunting, farming, mining, and ranching, and they provide a fascinating insight into the challenges and hardships that pioneers faced. There are stories about the lives of iconic western figures Davy Crockett, Daniel Boone, Kit Carson, and Buffalo Bill himself, along with some stories about lesser-known pioneers.
