    A lavish and sumptuous work, it combines vivid narrative with valuable and unique uniform illustrations, including 74 full color plates, to make one of the most magnificent books on military history ever published.

    On her family's long trek in the wagon train from the Missouri River country to California, she did a woman's work and took a woman's responsibilities.But she still was not allowed to wear her hair pinned up in puffs and coils like the other girls of her age. Especially when Jed, the handsome South Pass Scout, showed signs of interest in her. Ellen chafed against her parents' unwillingness to have her grow up.But grow up she did--in character as well as appearance--during the long, exhausting, exciting journey across the continent. She learned the value of patience, gentleness, and good temper as she cared for her five brothers and sisters when their father and mother were both ill. Courage and endurance became her dependable supports through days of fatigue and nights of anxiety. And best of all, she found at the end of the great adventure that true love is worth earning and worth waiting for.Here is a story of covered wagons-days so vividly told that every detail of event and character is a living experience to the reader. The Boones are a family who will remain long in the memory, every one of them a real individual, and all united in purpose and affection. How they turned a favorite family pastime into a solid means of livelihood when their hope failed of "striking it rich" in the California gold mines makes an original and delightful climax to a fine, robust book.

    A colossal influence on literature from Huysmans to Ashbery, art from Manet to Broodthaers, music from Debussy to Boulez and philosophy from Blanchot to Rancière, Mallarmé spent more than 30 years on a legendary, ultimately unfinished project he called simply Le Livre.The Book was Mallarmé’s dream of a total artwork, a book to encompass all books. His collected drafts and notes toward it, published first posthumously in French in 1957, are alternately mystic, lyrical and banal: many concern the dimensions, page count and cost of printing this ideal book. Often cited, frequently quoted, but rarely encountered in its entirety, The Book has remained as much myth as text.Sylvia Gorelick has undertaken the first complete translation of The Book into English. This fresh translation is not only between languages, but from its original handwritten manuscript — now in the collection of Houghton Library, Harvard University — to the typographic page. The result is a strikingly visual poem about its own construction.

    A rich social history as well as a history of the English reading public, the book has become a classic. It will continue to be read and enjoyed by scholars and students as we make our way through another age of profound social change for the reader and for the book. This edition features an extensive new bibliography.
