An interesting group of three printed documents concerning the Powder River Cattle Company in Wyoming. The manager of the company Morton Frewen was the scion of Anglo-English gentry and came to the Wyoming Territory in 1878 to seek his fortune establishing one of the larger cattle concerns on the Northern Great Plains in what is now northeastern Wyoming with additional holdings in Alberta. In 1882 the company was reorganized as the joint-stock Powder River Cattle Company Ltd. with an English board of directors and investors. Frewen served as manager until 1886 when controversy ensued with charges of false statements of losses due to overstocked pastures and harsh winter. The present group includes Frewen's report to the first annual meeting of the company as well a defense in an 1886 lawsuit between Frewen and the directors of Powder River and an 1887 profit-and-loss statement composed by the company's liquidator.

Some worming to the top margin of a few leaves in vol. 2 not affecting any letterpress some light foxing a very good set. Bound in modern 3/4 calf spine with heavy gilt stamping with new endpapers. Bound in the rear is the scarce keys to both volumes. The Schlueters note in their Encyclopaedia of British Women Writers that this is Manley's most celebrated work . a kind of roman a clef that recounted political intrigue and sexual scandal . includes scenes of homosexual as well as heterosexual orgy drunkeness rape and incest which has given it a sensationalist reputation . Her contribution lies in having forged an authentically feminist realism . and in having braved the negative currents that opposed women's entance into the field of dramatic and fictional literature . She is one of the pioneers of women's literature in English but her work has yet to receive the serious critical attention it deserves. John Morphew unknown books
