Favour, Alpheus H. Old Bill Williams (Mountain Man)
University of North Carolina Chapel Hill 1936 First Edition, First Printing Marjorie Thomas SIGNED by the Author
Fine in a Very Good dustjacket. Fully-bound in tan cloth. The spine is stamped in brown. Map-endpapers and an internal, fold-out map. 229pp., plus several illustrations. There is some uniform yellowing of the pages, otherwise clean, tight, and square. All tips are sharp. No reading wear or previous ownership markings. The dustjacket, glossy in a mylar sleeve, has some chipping: particularly around the spine-ends and tips. The top 1/4" and the bottom 1/8" of the spine are lost. There is a moderate chip at the upper front tip and a couple more at the top of the rear panel. Lastly, there is a drop of paint on the spine. The original price is intact. SIGNED by the author on the recto of the plate by Marjorie Thomas.
"...'Red-headed Shooter' the Osages named him. 'Old Solitaire' the trappers called him, this mountain man who never seems to have had any youth, who seems always to have been Old Bill Williams, restless, wandering, independent, like his Welsh ancestors, who migrated to Virginia in the seventeenth century.
Drawn mainly from primary sources, supplemented by the author's intimate knowledge of the region, this story is more than the life of a mountain man; it touches upon many phases of national growth, from the Louisiana Purchase to the end of the Westward Movement..."
