brossura I nativi dell'America del Nord venivano braccati e scacciati dalle loro terre dal governo nord americano negli anni '800. I valorosi pellerossa dovevano continuamente spostarsi coi loro accampamenti per sfuggire allo sterminio. Le loro vendette si dimostrarono spesso spietate, a danno degli eserciti, ma anche i coloni, che avevano a poco a poco invaso le pianure in cerca di ricchi pascoli e qualche oncia d'oro nei corsi d'acqua, erano in costante pericolo. Le truppe americane, guidate a volte da maniaci comandanti, erano riuscite a sconfiggere varie bande di indiani, ma la sorpresa per loro doveva ancora arrivare.
ill., ril. Frank Frazetta (9 febbraio 1928-10 maggio 2010) è considerato da molti come il più grande disegnatore heroic fantasy di tutti i tempi. Il suo lavoro ha influenzato generazioni di artisti, fan, designer e registi. Frazetta ha ridefinito il concetto di leggenda del disegno grazie ai fumetti degli anni 50 e alle copertine mozzafiato di Tarzan, King Kong e John Carter di Marte; alle riviste di mostri degli anni 60, come Creepy, Eerie e Vampirella; ai suoi più importanti manifesti per film, tra i quali Caccia alla Volpe (After the Fox) e Ciao Pussycat (What's New Pussycat); e, naturalmente, ai suoi rivoluzionari dipinti di Conan. Questo volume raccoglie tutte le sedici avventure di White Indian realizzate dal maestro americano.

8vo., First Edition thus, with plates and maps; original pictorial wrappers, crease in rear wrapper else a very goos, clean copy. This important work, to which Sassoon was a primary contributor, was first published privately in 1938 (see Keynes B16). A public edition was issued in 1987, which was followed, in turn, by this paperback version. Sassoon's main contribution A Subaltern's Service in Camp and Action (12 March to 1 April 1917) stands as Chapter XII where it is here retitled A Chapter in a Subaltern's Life (March 12th to April 16th 1917). The account was written early in 1926 and except for his diaries of 1918, was the first prose Sassoon wrote about the war. It was afterwards expanded in Memoirs of an Infantry Officer (1930) as pp. 190-237 (see Keynes A33). Not recorded by Enser.

Paramount, Usa, 1937. Fotobusta, colore, cm 49,5 x 70. Strappi marginali. Tra il 1840 e il 1865, la Wells Fargo divenne la prima ditta di diligenze a collegare la costa statunitense occidentale a quella orientale. Non tutto andò per il verso giusto, e Ramsay MacKay (Joel McCrea), ideatore dell'impresa, dovette risolvere più di un problema.Il film racconta la saga della Wells Fargo, la ditta di trasporti con diligenze che per prima stabilì un collegamento fra la costa atlantica e il Pacifico. L'azione copre circa trent'anni, dalla febbre dell'oro in California fino alla chiusura della frontiera del West. Western di stampo classico e dal taglio introspettivo che si prefigge di riflettere sulla conquista territoriale come sfida personale. Girato con dovizia di dettagli e una notevole ricostruzione storica, "Un mondo che sorge" non riesce a staccarsi da una certa esaltazione nazionalista che lo rende un inno al patriottismo americano. Il regista lavora su stereotipi e poco sulla personalità dei suoi personaggi, che risultano privi di sfumature e omologati gli uni agli altri. Film ottimo dal punto di vista produttivo ma carente sul piano dei contenuti. .
