Federal Writers' Project.
The Oregon Trail (The American Guide Series).
Publisher: New York: Hastings House, 1939..
First Edition Octavo in beige cloth decorated in brown. 244 pages illustrated by photographs and drawings; folding map at rear. An excellent entry in this depression era publishing venture. The book is sound, but there is a previous owner name in pencil on the front endpaper (a prominent Denver attorney), and the endpapers are conspicuously toned by the dustjacket. The jacket itself, a coarse brown paper decorated in the same manor as the book, is well preserved, but there is material missing at the spine ends (at the top, enough to nip the cross of the "T" in the title). The front flap fold is open about an inch from the bottom, and about three inches from the top with some loss of material as well. Finally, there is some shallow chipping at the top rear panel.
