[WYOMING]. TRIGGS, J. H. History of Cheyenne and Northern Wyoming, embracing the Gold Fields of the Black Hills, Powder River and Big Horn Countries. Omaha, Neb.: Printed at the Herald Steam Book and Job Printing House, 1876.
8o. Folding frontispiece map of Wyoming. Yellow paper wrappers, fold-out advertisement on rear endpaper (chipped and somewhat soiled); half morocco folding case.
AN IMPORTANT ARTIFACT OF THE BLACK HILLS GOLD RUSH. Triggs tells readers in his introductory prospectus that his book "gives the much required information to Eastern people, of the various processes of mining...There is now no longer any reasonable doubt of the vast mineral wealth of these regions." The influx of white settlers proved explosive to the delicate diplomatic balance that had been worked out with the Plains tribes in the 1860s. But from Little Big Horn to Bended Knee, this region became the site of the final, tragic chapter of the Indian wars. SCARCE: Trigg's fragile and ephemeral pamphlet was last sold at auction in 1977, according to American Book Prices Current. Adams Herd 2331 ("very rare"); AII Nebraska 443; Graff 4192; Howes T-352 ("b"); Streeter IV:2247.
