Publication: University of Oklahoma Press, 1968, Norman

First edition. Cloth, 268pp., folding map, index. Frequently debated in the 1870's was the worth, or worthlessness, of much of the western lands. The Northern Pacific Railroad, explorers, surveyors, Army Generals, and European financiers were all caught-up in the debate. The editor of this work has compiled a number of documents from that time period which helped set forth the various arguments in this great debate. Fine in dust jacket with some very light wear to edges and corners.
