br. Dove si trova il famoso tesoro dell'Olandese? Avete mai sentito parlare delle misteriose teste volanti del folklore irochese? Perché il fantasma della Llorona continua ancora oggi a cercare i suoi figli annegati nel Rio Grande? Che fine ha fatto la testa di El Muerto, il cavaliere fantasma delle lande del Sud Ovest? Sapete che Buffalo Bill, Kit Carson e Davy Crockett erano massoni? E poi, che cosa succedeva agli sfortunati ospiti della locanda della famiglia Bender, sulla pista che dal Kansas portava al West? Quale fu lo sparo più incredibile dell'intera storia della frontiera? La risposta a queste e a molte altre domande si trova tra le pagine di questo libro, composto di fatti storici insoliti che stanno sospesi tra la storia e la leggenda, narrati come racconti intorno al fuoco di un bivacco. Saggi scritti sulla linea impervia e sottile che separa il razionalismo a tutti i costi dalla credulità acritica, mantenendo intatta la meraviglia e il gusto della scoperta di questa "frontiera" al di là della frontiera. Preparatevi a un viaggio nel vecchio e selvaggio West all'insegna del mistero!

299p. XLib. 8vo. Original full cloth binding, gold pictorial of a grizzly bear on front board. Spine marred. Hardbound. Joaquin Miller was the pseudonym of Cincinnatus Heine (or Hiner) Miller, 1839?-1913. In 1852 his family moved to frontier Oregon from Indiana. He lived in gold-mining camps, later with Native Americans, and was in turn an express rider, an editor, and an Oregon judge. His first two volumes of poems, Specimens (1868) and Joaquin et al. (1869), contained energetic, rhetorical celebrations of frontier life. They brought him only local acclaim, but in England, where he went next, his colorful personality, his dramatic Western costume, and his Songs of the Sierras (1871) made him famous as a frontier poet - Columbia Encyclopedia.
