pp. xv, 394, (2) [Publisher's catalogue] + Photogravure Frontis from a daguerreotype of Parkman as a young man and another photogravure plate of an older Parkman. Top edge gold. Bookplate of Julia T. Kerr. 8vo. Original full green cloth binding. Spine darkened with small loss at head. Hardbound. "Francis Parkman (1823-1893) is best known as a historian, and particularly as author of The Oregon Trail: Sketches of Prairie and Rocky-Mountain Life, and his monumental seven volume France and England in North America. These works are considered masterpieces of both history and literature. He was also a horticulturist, briefly a Professor of Horticulture at Harvard University. In 1846, Parkman travelled west on a hunting expedition, where time living with the Sioux tribe, at a time when they were struggling with some of the effects of contact with Europeans, such as epidemic disease and alcoholism. This experience led Parkman to write about American Indians with a much different tone from earlier, more sympathetic portrayals represented by the "noble savage". Writing in the era of "Manifest Destiny", Parkman believed that the conquest and displacement of American Indians represented progress, a triumph of "civilization" over "savagery", a common view at the time. A scion of a wealthy Boston family, Parkman had enough money to pursue his research without having to worry too much about finances. His financial stability was enhanced by his modest lifestyle, and later, by the royalties from his book sales. He was thus able to commit much of his time to research, as well as to travel. He travelled across North America, visiting most of the historical locations he wrote about, and made frequent trips to Europe seeking original documents with which to further his research. Parkman's accomplishments are all the more impressive in light of the fact that he suffered from a debilitating neurological illness, which plagued him his entire life, and which was never properly diagnosed. He was often unable to walk, and for long periods he was effectively blind, being unable to stand but the slightest amount of light. Much of his research involved having people read documents to him, and much of his writing was written in the dark, or dictated to others." AMERICANA BOX 8

Wear at corners a few points of fraying at corners. Inscribed by Saunders to a cousin dated Sept 1925. Charles Francis Saunders 1859-1941 was born to Quaker parents in Bucks County Pennsylvania. He and his first wife Elisabeth Hallowell Saunders d. 1910 were both avid naturalists; Charles began publishing essays on botany as early as the 1890s and edited and published a Quaker newsletter in Philadelphia circa 1894-1896. Charles and Elisabeth also collaborated on a number of publications he as author she as illustrator. After a honeymoon trip to California and the Southwest in 1902 the couple moved permanently to California in 1906 and settled in a Craftsman bungalow on North Lake Avenue in Pasadena where Charles devoted himself full time to writing. He eventually published more than a dozen books inspired by California and the Southwest. Both Charles and Elisabeth were amateur photographers and many of their photographs were used to illustrate Saunders' books The Indians of the Terraced Houses 1912 and Under the Sky in California 1913. In 1921 Saunders married Mira Barrett Culin d. 1968 whom he had met at the Pasadena Garden Club. Also a writer Mira shared Saunders' interest in gardens botany and photography. For many years Mira published articles on Pasadena gardens parks and trees in the Pasadena Star News for which she took dozens of photographs. First with Elisabeth and then with Mira Saunders travelled extensively throughout California and the Southwest photographing all of the California Missions the regions' natural wonders Native Americans and flora among other things. These interests became the subjects of 18 books and numerous essays and articles Saunders published in his lifetime. Many of these books were illustrated with photographs taken by their author on his many excursions. Saunders' collection of Native American pottery and crafts is now in the collection of the Southwest Museum Los Angeles and his botanic library is in the possession of the Santa Barbara Botanic Gardens.
