In Memoriam. Edwin R. Purple
Memoriam to Edwin Ruthven Purple (1831-1879), who was born in Sherburne, New York, worked in New York City from 1847 to 1850, when he moved to San Francisco and Sacramento, and thereafter moved between New York and California in his employment--describing Salt Lake City and Fillmore and areas between, when he worked in Salt Lake City in 1862.

Montana Vigilantes, 1863–1870
A history and legal analysis of vigilantism in Montana in the 1860s, from a state Supreme Court justice and legal historian.

Archdeacon uses to determine the impact of the English conquest on the city of New York. Among his concerns are the changing relationships between the Dutch and the English, the distribution of wealth and the role of commerce in the city, and the part played by ethnic and religious heritage in provincial politics.
As Big as the West
Granville Stuart (1834-1918) is a quintessential Western figure, a man whose adventures rival those of Wyatt Earp, Buffalo Bill, or Sitting Bull, and who embodied many of the contradictions of America's westward expansion. Stuart collected guns, herded cattle, mined for gold, and killed men he thought outlaws. But he also taught himself Shoshone, French, and Spanish, denounced formal religion, married a Shoshone woman, and eventually became a United States diplomat. In this fascinating biography, Clyde A.
