Presented in this lot are the two (2) Roper's Classics, "Roper's Hand-Book of Land And Marine Engines", 1883, and "Roper's Catechism Of Steam Engines", 1897. One is signed 1884 from Helena, Montana. Steam engineering propelled the Industrial Revolution of the nascent United States particularly in the 19th Century of the ever expanding West which saw steam engines used on the transcontinental railroads bringing immigrants to the new lands west of the Mississippi. And once gold, silver and copper were discovered in California, Nevada, Colorado, the Dakotas, Montana, Idaho, steam engines found new work in the mining industry. These two books were must haves during those periods of growth of the 19th and early 20th centuries. These books are in amazingly good overall condition, intact gold gilt illustrated leather covers exhibit tears and scuffing, intact gold gilt top, fore and bottom edge pages exhibit age tanning. Books measure respectively 4.25"W x 6.25"L x 1"D and 4"W x 6"L x .5"D
