A Miner's Sunday--1849. by Charles B. Gillespie--1 lot of 10 copies

Description: This listing is for lots of 10 copies of A Miner's Sunday, 1849. by Charles B. Gillespie. This story is set in Coloma, the California gold discovery site of 1848. But it might have happened at any of the gold-rush sites of the West--Virginia City, Cripple Creek, the Klondike--and it probably did, but only on Sunday. Town was a lively place the one day the mines were shut down, with a mix of nationalities engaging in gambling, auctions, horse-racing, shopping for clothes and supplies, eating, drinking, brawling, and general tom-foolery as you might expect from a bunch of young men from all over the world who were off to a get-rich adventure.Illustrations are from early sources, including the original article of 1891, Frederic Remington, and the Crocker Art Museum. 16 pages. ISBN-10: 0-89646-005-3. ISBN-13: 978-0-89646-005-8. Published by VistaBooks. Binding is trade paper with stitched spine printed with title and author. This book is listed by the publisher at 3.95 per copy. Multi-copy purchases here are much lower as shown. The book is listed as brand new as it is from publisher's inventory and has never circulated.
