Stewart, Edgar I.
Penny-An-Acre Empire in the West. Norman: OK, University of Oklahoma Press, 1968. First Edition. Octavo (9.25 in. by 6.25 in.); 268pp.; very good hardcover; very good dust jacket; dust jacket lightly chipped at extremities; book lightly rubbed at extremities. A hotly debated subject throughout the nation in the 1870's was the worth -- or the worthlessness -- of the western lands, especially those proposed to be traversed by the Northern Pacific Railroad. Explorers, surveyors, army generals, and even financiers from Berlin and Vienna became embroiled in the controversy. --Quote from dust jacket |
