Description:
New York:: Grosset & Dunlap, 1935.. Reprint Edition.. Hardbound . BINDING/CONDITION: pictorial boards; Good condition.. 8vo (8.5 inches tall) . Description: Illustrated in black and white by Kurt Wiese. By the author of the Silver Chief series, this story is about a shepherd dog who plays a part in the war between sheep and cattle ranchers in the West. When the cattlemen of Montana objected to having a sheep ranch in their midst they did not stop at underhand methods to force Trent, Valiant's, master to move on. Trent , however, did not intend to be scared off. Treachery in his own camp, the kidnapping of his son David, and an attempt on Valiant' life, bring the story to a dramatic conclusion. The only printed date is the original 1935 copyright; this copy circa 1970s.

Manhattan, Kansas:: Sunflower University Press, 1985.. Paperbound . BINDING/CONDITION: paperbound; Fair condition; the cover is faded and worn.. 8vo (8.5 inches tall) . Description: The author's introduction ends with this: ''Once I flew copilot for a veteran finishing up his last week of a 37-year airline career. He soloed in the early 1920s, dusted cotton, barnstormed, and flew right seat in Fords with another line before finding a home with us. He was a consummate pilot with 34.000 hours logged without scratching an airplane. He was also a great fellow to fly with. As we took position on the runway and waited, looking down the concrete ahead, I wondered how many times before he had done it. What was he thinking now? I wanted to ask, but didn't. Perhaps he read my ithoughts. 'You know', he said, 'This is just as much fun now as it ever was. Can you understand that.?' I could. These following chapters, then make an indirect attempt at an explanation -- or perhaps a clarification -- of my view…

Illustrated endpapers. Description: ''Give them a good honest trial, and then hang them!'' Such was the cry of mining-town tribunals in the turbulent years of the Forty-niners in San Francisco. Out of the chaos of crime and mockery of the courts, the Vigilantes arose to impose their own form of law and order upon a demoralized city. Their story is one of the most colorful in American history. General Sherman and Captain Farragut, both to achieve later fame, were among the actors on a central stage, crowded with gamblers, ex-convicts, prostitutes and murderers. The Committee not only took law into their own hands, but raised money to build a city jail, which had not previously existed. The citizens of San Francisco in the 1850s were fighting not only an invasion…

Great canyons are incised into the surface, huge dry river beds attest to past floods, volcanoes tower to heights almost three times that of Mt Everest, and vast seas of sand surround the poles. Global dust storms regularly cover the entire planet. At the poles, caps of carbon dioxide advance and retreat with the seasons. This book incorporates images…
