RANCH LIFE IN SOUTHERN KANSAS AND THE INDIAN TERRITORY. AS TOLD BY A NOVICE. HOW A FORTUNE WAS MADE IN CATTLE.
Miller, Benjamin S.:
New York. 1896. 163,[1]pp. Portrait. Original front wrapper, rear wrapper and spine supplied in expert restoration. Otherwise very nice and clean. A good plus copy. In a folding fabrikoid box. Miller was born in 1851, attended Cornell, and went to Kansas in 1878. This colorful narrative of his life as a rancher there over the next five years is an excellent firsthand account of ranching in the Indian Territory during that early period. In later life Miller spent a year and a half in Alaska in 1898-99, and died in Binghamton in 1930. One of the best early accounts of the Indian Territory, and quite scarce. HOWES M602.
