Storer on the front end paper. There are a number of personal touches by Mr. Croy including several tipped in photos and newspaper articles humorous handwritten notes to and about Douglas Storer. There is a typed note to Storer on the letterhead of the Semiramis Hotel Cairo and a blurb from the publisher including purchasing options. <br>It seems likely that this Douglas Storer is the one who produced <i>Ripley's Believe It or Not </i> from 1933 to about 1960 and subsequently founded the <i>Amazing but True</i> franchise of books radio shows etc. ; 7¾" - 9¾" Tall; 242 pages; <p>" If ever a tale of the pioneer west was unfolded 'whose lightest word could make each particular hair to stand on end' this account of the ill-fated Donner Party is it. Eighty-seven people set out for the promised land of California - only forty-four survived to reach their goal after a year of incredible hardship and suffering. Homer Croy tells the true story of this tragic Odyssey in an exciting and suspenseful narrative that holds the reader spellbound from start to finish. <br> "In a way this recounts the consequences of a fateful decision. After a grueling trek across the Great Plains the Donner Party arrived at Fort Laramie in the fall of 1846. Because of the lateness of the season they took a 500-mile cut-off. This proved their undoing for they reached the 7000-foot pass in the Sierras which today bears their name in furious snow-storms which trapped them there for months - till they were reduced to chewing boiled ox hides and finally to cannibalism. Almost incredible acts of heroism as well as dark deeds of violence all come vividly to life in these pages. " ; Signed by Author . Hastings House hardcover

19343New York: Damon & Peets. Waino and Plutano also called Plutanor were a pair of exceptionally strong dwarf brothers from Ohio named Hiram and Barney born c. 1825 and 1827. They were each 40 inches tall and weighed about 45 pounds yet they could perform feats of great strength such as lifting heavy weights and wrestling with audience members on stage. Discovered and subsequently promoted by a traveling showman in 1852 the brothers were renamed and given a sensational backstory in which they were wild savages captured in Borneo after a great struggle with armed sailors. They were exhibited at state fairs across the United States in the 1860s and they later toured with William C. Coup's circus. They joined P.T. Barnum's traveling exhibitions around 1880 and went on to earn more than $200000 over the next two decades. This scarce pitch book describes the isolated "negritos" of Borneo "yellowish in color and undersized" the wild "monkey antics" of the brothers when they first reached America their amazing strength and their travels and gradual domestication. Undated sideshow pitch book c. 1880. 3 x 4.5 inches 16 pp in original illustrated wrappers. One full-page illustration and 2 within the text. A few small chips/short tears; very good.
