Featured in this lot is this 1900 edition of "Thirty One Years On The Plains And In The Mountains" by self-described "Chief of Scouts" Capt. William F. Drannan, published 1900 by Rhodes & McClure Publishing Company, preface 1899. "Thirty One Years On The Plains and in the Mountains or, the Last Voice From The Plains. An Authentic Record of a Life Time of Hunting, Trapping, Scouting and Indian Fighting in the Far West" by Capt. William F. Drannan who went on to the Plains when fifteen years old. Copiously illustrated by H. S. DeLay and Many Reproductions from Photographs". Harvey L. Carter, author of one of the most authorative books on Kit Carson, asserts, "what was narrated as fact by 'this man' was actually a tissue of lies". Other historians believe Drannan, at worst, may be guilty of mixing fact and fiction in his books. Regardless of which one believes, this book is viewed as an important description of the American West. The condition of this book is well preserved with a plastic dust jacket protecting the integrity of the book. The book shows some very slight wear to the spine and the cover of the book with browning to the pages consistent with the age of the book. The measurements of this book is 7 7/8" x 5 5/8". The collective weight of this book is 1lb 8oz.
