167 pages including index. Neatly typed presentation bookplate upon half-title page. The controversy that surrounds BC's forests has produced a mountain of contradictory words. Most people don't know what to believe. The Working Forest Project tries to solve that problem by showing the BC forest as it really is - in photographs. In the past two years the Working Forest Project, initiated by forester Ike Barber and led by forester Gerry Burch, undertook the most comprehensive photographic documentation ever attempted of the BC forest, showing the good and the bad. On the way it interviewed the professional foresters who manage the working forest, and writer Peter Robson put together a concise and factual explanation of the state of British Columbia's forests in the 1990s. This visually stunning book contains over 200 full-colour photographs and graphs showing an overview of forestry in British Coumbia. Special emphasis is given to the areas which have been logged over the years, with many time-lapse photographs comparing original clearcuts to the second-growth forests which have regrown on the sites.

Mountain Meadows massacre was a series of attacks in Utah on the Baker-Fancher emigrant wagon train. Composed almost entirely of families from Arkansas the group was bound for California on a route that passed through the Utah Territory during a turbulent period later known as the Utah War. After arriving in Salt Lake City, the party made their way south, eventually stopping to rest at Mountain Meadows. While the emigrants were camped in the meadow, nearby militia leaders made plans to attack the wagon train. Intending to give the appearance of Native American aggression, their plan was to arm some Southern Paiute indians and persuade them to join with a larger party of Utah militiamen, disguised as Indians, in an attack. During the initial assault on the wagon train, the emigrants fought back and a five-day siege ensued. Eventually fear spread among the militia's leaders that some emigrants had caught sight of white men, and had probably discovered who their attackers really were. This resulted in an order by militia commander for the emigrants' annihilation. Running low on water and provisions, the emigrants allowed a party of militiamen to enter their camp, who assured them of their safety and escorted them out of their hasty fortification. After walking a distance from the camp, the militiamen, with the help of auxiliary forces hiding nearby, attacked the emigrants. Intending to leave no witnesses the perpetrators killed all the adults and older children (totaling about 120 men, women, and children). Seventeen children, all younger than seven, were spared. W7
First edition, original cloth, 8vo, viii+247 pages. 2 foldout photographed maps. This study is an inquiry into the exploitation of the iron resources of a pioneer state and therefore deals with a phase of the history of the West. The iron lands of Minnesota are located in a rather limited area so that it was possible to study the disposition of them somewhat in detail. (from preface) Internal binding starting, light edge wear on cover and bottom corners are dented, very clean pages. Good Condition overall. (AC-20-18)
8vo., First Edition, with 48 plates on 24 and 9 maps in the text; original black cloth, backstrip lettered in silver, a near fine copy in unclipped dustwrapper. Based on previously classified archives, this fascinating if controversial study examines why and how Haig and the government conspired to pervert the history of the Western Front in World War I. Section by section Winter decries the version presented by the Official Histories , comparing it to the uncensored versions of Dominion records. Ten years in the making, this may in the future be judged a tuning point in our understanding of the Western Front.
