The Old Reliable The History of the Springfield Wagon Company 1872 – 1952 by Steven Lee Stepp, 1972 Written by Mr. Stepp as a Masters Thesis for Southwest Missouri State College The author was able to gain access to the early business papers of the Springfield Wagon Company. These papers, still in their original form and largely intact, provide great insight into the daily workings of the largest wagon company west of the Mississippi River. Former employees, still living at the time aided greatly in filling gaps in the written records. Paper back, 150 pages, with several pages of old ads and pictures. $19.95 Each book personally signed by Mr. Stepp.  |
 John EggenMuch of early Americana has been destroyed and lost forever. The negatives from which these photographs were made nearly met the same fate. Had this happened, this pictorial record of the cattle industry on the open range around the turn of the century would have been lost. These photographs by frontier photographer Frank Sherman remained untouched in the attic of his Lebanon, Oregon Historical Society in Portland. Now at last this treasure of history is available to the public. The images of cowboy life give new insights into this romantic period of American history.“…this is a grand book on early day cowboys, maybe the best ever published.” Sandra Dallas, Denver Post $29.95

STAGE COACH Rare views of the old West 1849 – 1915 Over 200 authentic, rare, and often unpublished vintage photographs explore life in the Old West – from the Gold Rush to the First World War. Here are the stagecoaches, the horse drawn wagons, the towns, and the people who lived on the frontier of America. These are the people who bet their lives on a trip of hundreds of days in cramped wagons through very dangerous territories. It is remarkable that there were photographers to record these events on film. The visual record is supported with narratives, many in the first person, and important historical information. Paper back, 175 pages.
