Scotts Bluff national monument (4 foto's)

Division of publications National Park Service U.S. Department of the Interior Washington D.C., Goed, softcover geniet, 1983, 64 blz. Vergeling langs kaftrand.. Octavo, [23cm/9inches], paperbound with pictorial covers, pp. 64. Fully Illustrated with b-w halftones, &tc. Please feel free to inquire as to particulars and/or additional photographs. Scotts Bluff National Monument is located in the City of Gering in western Nebraska. This National Park Service site protects over 3,000 acres of historic overland trail remnants, mixed-grass prairie, rugged badlands, towering bluffs and riparian area along the North Platte River. The bluff served as an important landmark for pioneers on the Oregon Trail, California Trail, Mormon Trail and Pony Express Trail. The bluff is named after Hiram Scott, who was a clerk for William Ashley's Rocky Mountain Fur Company and died near the bluff in 1828. Over 250,000 westward emigrants passed by Scotts Bluff between 1843 and 1869. It was the second-most referred to landmark on the Oregon, California and Mormon trails in pioneer journals and diaries. Visitors to Scotts Bluff National Monument can walk in the footsteps of pioneers on remnants of the Oregon Trail, drive to the top of the bluff via the Summit Road, which is the oldest concrete road in the state of Nebraska and stand in awe at the sight of the bluffs raising from the prairie. The park boasts over 100,000 annual visitors.

Monaghan, Jay

Chile, Peru, and the California Gold Rush of 1849(6 foto's)

University of California Press, Goed, Engelstalig, 1973, 312 blz. Hardcover, linnen, gebonden. Omslag van de kaft wat verkleurd en beschadigd langs de randen. Bladsnede heeft roestvorming.. The participation in Gold Rush of the South Americans has never received adequate attention. Yet the Chilena and Peruvian gold seekers arrived months ahead of the forty-niners, and were mostly experienced miners who set about teaching the late-arriving "Anglos" how to pan for gold and how to dig mine shafts. Chilean and Peruvian ports became important way stations for ships coming around the Horn, as well as major outfitting ports for expeditions starting from South America. Within a few months, however, Chilean and Peruvian miners were being pushed off their claims, and a major anti-Chilean riot exploded in San Francisco.
