1893214562大阪. Osaka.: 福井榮之助. Fukui Einosuke. Meiji 26 1893. Handcoloured folding engraving 37.5 x 51cm. A prior owner's name is recorded in brush strokes down the left margin. Few small washi repaired tears two old repaired tears on the reverse some occasional browning particularly at centre fold light staining upper margin intruding a little into the printed image. Overall an attractive copy. Scarce. Lieutenant Colonel Fukushima Yasumasa 1852 – 1919 undertook a remarkable solo horseback expedition across Eurasia in 1892. Starting in Poland he traversed Russia and Siberia on his journey. Stationed in Berlin as a military attaché in 1887 he was tasked with researching the Trans-Siberian Railway under construction by Russia. His successful expedition was followed by further explorations in India and the Balkan Peninsula.<br><br>This sheet divided into 24 illustrated panels narrates Fukushima's story from his youth to his triumphant return after the expedition. Filled with adventure the story depicts his encounters with both danger and excitement. The narrative unfolds in a clockwise direction starting from the bottom right corner similar to a sugoroku game which this may be but it is uncertain. The central panel featuring a newly erected statue represents the final goal of his journey. Each panel is accompanied by a caption that furthers the story. . 福井榮之助. [Fukui Einosuke]. unknown

199929113N.P.:: XLibris 1999. First Printing of the First US Edition. A Fine tight copy in a Fine dust jacket. Sacajawea is by far the most memorialized female in American history. According to the U. S. Government "More statues streams lakes landmarks parks songs ballads and poems honor this young woman than any other woman in American history. Without Sacajawea's navigational diplomatic and translating skills the famous Lewis and Clark Expedition would have perished." Yet controversy still rages as to whether she died in 1812 in South Dakota or in 1884 in Wyoming. And where is she buried South Dakota or Wyoming. This book answers those questions by validating the Oral or Traditional History of her own people the Shoshones and explains why many white historians including Ken Burns and Steven Ambrose are wrong concerning the death and the burial spot of America's greatest and most beloved female icon.

Sergeant Patrick Gass was one of the few members of the Lewis and Clark expedition to keep a continuous log of the entire epic journey.

In this new edition Carol MacGregor's thorough annotation of the journal and the inclusion of Gass's recently discovered personal account ledger lend new insight into the life and work of PatrIck Gass. The Journals of Patrick Gass represents a significant contribution to the study of the Lewis and Clark expedition essential for everyone interested in the history of Western expansion.</p> Mountain Press Publishing Company, hardcover
