A classic account of life in the mining camps of Montana, as well as a general early history of the Northwest. "One of the standard works on the Montana vigilantes and the Plummer gang of road agents."---Ramon Adams. The publisher produced a few sets of this classic in special presentation bindings; some in full leather and some in three-quarter leather with decorative boards. The quantity of either is unknown, but certain to be few. We are pleased to offer this copy in Three-Quarter Leather with Decorative Boards. A beautiful set with some very light wear to edges and corners, housed in a custom, felt-lined, clamshell case. This is the only set we have seen of this special presentation binding!
