Included in this lot is a Vintage Western Americana Book Collection (5), circa 1903 - 1987. Subjects covered include Custer's Last Stand, the Santa Fe Trail, the California Missions, Death Valley, and Alaska Native Land Claims. The mythos of cowboys, pioneers, and Native American history is deeply woven into the identity of the West. The American West is defined by vast, open spaces, striking geological diversity, and a deeply rooted pioneering spirit. Stretching from the rugged Pacific coastline to the Rocky Mountains and desert Southwest, the region offers a blend of untamed wilderness, rich cultural heritage, and legendary frontier history. Historically, the region represented the American Dream and a place for reinvention, driven by the Gold Rush, the Homestead Act, and the search for a better life. Books included: "The Santa Fe Trail" by R. L. Duffus, 1934; "Death Valley" by Bourke Lee, 1930; "Westward High Low and Dry" by Dorothy Childs Hogner, 1938; "Alaska Native Land Claims" by Robert D. Arnold, 1978; "Romance of the Highways of California" by Commander Scott, 1946; "Incidents of a Voyage to California 1849" by Errol Wayne Stevens, 1987; "California and the Missions" by Helen Hunt Jackson, 1903; "The Rand-McNally Guide to California Illustrated" by A. Darlow and Harry Brook, 1903; and, "Wind on the Buffalo Grass" by Leslie Tillett, 1976. Books are in overall good condition, age tanning noted.
