Riders of the Purple Sage by Zane Grey, Grosset & Dunlap Edition, Circa 1940
About the Item
Grey, Zane. Riders of the Purple Sage. A Novel. New York: Grosset & Dunlap, 1912 (1940s). Illustrated by Douglas Duer. Presented in full gray Moroccan leather with gilt tooling to front board, raised bands, gilt titles, and gilt tooling to spine, new marbled endpaper, and a black slipcase with dust jacket illustration inlaid on the front.
Presented is a Grosset & Dunlap edition of Riders of the Purple Sage, from the early 1940s. Zane Grey’s best-known novel, Riders of the Purple Sage was originally published in 1912 by Harper & Brothers. Due to its popularity, it was reissued by New York publishers Grosset & Dunlap. It is presented here beautifully rebound, in full gray Moroccan leather with gilt tooling to front board, raised bands, gilt titles, and gilt tooling to spine, new marbled endpaper, and a black slipcase with dust jacket illustration inlaid on the front.
At the time of first publication, the Western genre had just evolved away from the popular dime novels of the late-nineteenth century and was finding a new audience interested in reading about Americans in their quest to conquer the unruly lawlessness of the West. This story of a gun-slinging avenger who saves a beautiful young woman from forced marriage played a significant role in shaping the new formula of the popular Western genre. Riders of the Purple Sage is a classic tale full of action, violence, sentimentalism, romance, and adventure. As in many Westerns, the description of the landscape also plays a major role and acts almost as a character in itself, sometimes described as dangerous and menacing and at other times providing safety for those who need it.
Pearl Zane Grey (1872-1939) was an American author best known for his popular adventure novels and Westen stories that idealized the American frontier. Riders of the Purple Sage (1912) was his best-selling book. Other popular stories of his include The Mysterious Rider, The Man of the Forest, and Desert Gold. In addition to the commercial success of his printed works, many of his stories had second lives and continued influence when adapted as films and television productions. His novels and short stories have been adapted into 112 films, two television episodes, and a television series, “Dick Powell's Zane Grey Theater.”

The Flag of the United States by Harrison S. Kerrick, First Edition, 1925
Located in Colorado Springs, CO
Kerrick, Harrison S. The Flag of the United States: Your Flag and Mine. Columbus: The Champlin Printing Co., 1925. First Edition, Second Printing. In original blue cloth boards, with gilt embossed title to the front board. New archival cloth slipcase.
Presented is a first edition, second printing of The Flag of the United States: Your Flag and Mine by Harrison S. Kerrick. This book was published by The Champlin Printing Co. in Columbus, Ohio. The first edition, first printing of this title was issued in February of 1925; this second printing was issued in April of 1925.
This book is a culmination of lifelong passion and respect for the American flag by the author Harrison S. Kerrick. The book begins by detailing the acts of continental and national Congresses, presidential proclamations, and Executive Orders that established the United States flag and Great Seal. He discusses the state laws pertaining to the American flag and argues the importance of a national flag code. Kerrick delves into the past history of flag design, including which European flags were popular in the early colonies, the early banners of the colonies, and the design elements that make up the stars and stripes as we know it today. He spends two chapters covering the facts and fictional myths surrounding our national flag. He then details how best to use the flag for personal and public use, inclduding how to create a flag, care for a flag, and the codes of conduct surrounding the proper display of the flag.
Lieutenant colonel Harrison Summers Kerrick (1873 – 1939) was an United States Army officer, teacher, and author. Kerrick was born in 1873 in Bloomington, Illinois, and attended Illinois Wesleyan University. In 1898, he enlisted in Company C of the 2nd Illinois Volunteer Infantry, serving in the Spanish–American War, during which he was promoted to captain. He served as a field artillery officer in the Philippine–American War and in WWI, he served in the U.S. Army Coast Artillery Corps from December 1917 to February 1918.
A lecturer and teacher, Kerrick was also the author of two books, Military and Naval America and The Flag of the United States. Passionate about American history and the symbolism of the American flag, Kerrick created the code of conduct on the proper handling and display of the United States flag, which was later adopted by the United States Congress...
