OLTORF, FRANK CALVERT (LETTERS OF ZENAS BARTLETT AND FAMILY).

The Marlin Compound: Letters of a Singular Family.

Austin, Texas: University of Texas Press 1968. 1st Edition. Hardbound 8vo (about 9.25 inches tall) 290 pages. Index. Beige endpapers. Description: Includes a frontis portrait plate, one map, and a section of black and white plates. Following taken from the publisher's blurb: ''Written over a hundred year period, the letters of Zenas Bartlett and his family and friends capture the vitality that marked the expansion and development of Texas during the nineteenth century. Warm, humorous, and illuminating, these letters and other papers record the changes in a family and in a region as bustling towns replaced clusters of log cabins and the hardships of the frontier were gradually mellowed by the luxuries of settled life. The earliest letters describe the adventures of young Zenas Bartlett, who left his home in Maine and traveled first to Alabama and then to camps of the California Gold Rush. A new venture brought him to Marlin, Texas, in 1854. Author Frank Calvert Oltorf was reared on the 'Marlin Compound,' the home where members of this singular family lived or visited and where many of the manuscripts included in this book were found. His comments bind the letters in a narrative of pioneering which is also a humorous and human family history.'' BINDING/CONDITION: a handsomely bound volume, turquoise cloth with black and silver on the spine; lightly bumped at the bottom spine, otherwise a Very Good+ book, with a Very Good+ dust jacket; the dust jacket is price clipped.
