MEMORABILIA IS RAPIDLY DISAPPEARING
FACTUAL REPRESENTATION
OF OUR WESTERN TREASURES
Folks, while the foothills of the Sierra Nevada were explored and dissected following the discovery of gold in 1848, large areas of California were neglected and virtually unvisited. There were some venturesome individuals, however, who sought to map and picture the coast from Noyo to Cape Mendocino. One such expedition was called
THE MENDOCINO HUNTING PARTY
and the results and progress of that party were embellished by the efforts of a pioneer artist of the region. His name was:
ALEXANDER EDOUART
who was the son of a celebrated English silhouettist who had sailed from New York to the Gold Rush Country in 1852. Here is his recorded adventure which was chronicled in part by Edward Vischer. Of course, there were many a western expedition’s story published but one with such a great artist and entertaining writers seldom are found – the common ones about Cowboys and Indians are listed on Ebay every day but the rarer ones about the pioneers of the old west like this one are seldom found. Included also, is an unusual map of the Redwood area. Collectors treasure them and their price guide value rises every day. They are hard to find. I hunt them out because really the better, untold and rarer stories were published in the rest.
Here’s one of ‘em.
Following my retirement, I have dedicated my remaining hours to indexing the Genealogy of our western pioneers. During my research, I discovered that thousands of our kinfolk lay unfound and unrecognized on some book dealer’s shelf. Because Old Western History and Memorabilia was printed before computer indexing, I index every item I sell.
This complete index will be bound and included in this offering at no additional cost.
Humbly, I am trying to keep our history alive
I hope you appreciate the effort.
Sooner or later - Genealogists are going to realize that their family kinfolks are laying on some dealer's dusty shelves. If I can contribute to finding one little name or photo of that long lost ancestor you have been waiting to find, it’s worth all the time I spend.

MEMORABILIA IS RAPIDLY DISAPPEARING
While others clip ads from magazines, I save history. It’s a shame that our past is being lost. It’s as simple as that.
What a story, Rare Story!!! Great Pictures. You will love it as it was published in this old complete western magazine printed on heavy slick paper many years ago. The issue is in excellent condition, the cover is pristine and in vibrant color.
As clearly stated in my description, this is featured story in a rarely found and seldom read unusual and complete western magazine. I don't give out name of publication or date because I have caught competitors copying my index and work and trying to sell it as theirs. I hope you understand.
