"James Chisholm was a staff writer for the Chicago Tribune sent to report on the gold strike made in the late 1860s at one of the great historical features of the continent-South Pass on the western trails. His journal, illustrated by himself, is a graceful, observant narrative full of the real essence of frontier mining camp life."-Library Journal. "Chisholm had a lively sense of humor, an engaging frankness, and a fine eye for landscape. He was also a candid social critic."-Rocky Mountain News. "Lovers of the Old West will buy Chisholm's Journal and never part with it."-Pacific Historical Review. "If South Pass failed to produce gold in the paying quantities James Chisholm's miners thought it would, Chisholm himself produced finer, more lasting gold in his journal account of Wyoming's short-lived gold rush. His journal exudes the smell of sagebrush and scenic panoramas, of torrential rain storms and night packing, of being small in a big land, and of honest, earthy people who, in business-like fashion, went about the task of risking life, limb, health, and what small fortunes they had, to hit the big one. Chisholm sees with unpretentious eyes. His is an honest appraisal from a detached journalist, leavened with self-effacing humor. His prose is clean and clear. It can be read aloud and remembered."-Charles E. Rankin, editor of Montana: The Magazine of Western History. Lola M. Homsher was director of the Wyoming State Archives and Historical Department.Binding Type: Paperback

Great looking pebble leather bag!
Color: Coffee-lichee
I have purchased powder blue, maroon, and three brown bags. I love the brown color bag. I have given two away and purchased this third bag for myself to keep (hopefully). The pebble leather seems to be genuine. This is a reasonable price for a large leather bag. It has large capacity, two inside zippers, one outside zipper, another install compartment. Great for organizing. I use this bag as my everyday go to bag. I love it!

Well-made & roomy!
Color: Green
This a beautiful, well-made bag! It shipped quickly, and was packed very carefully within its own dust bag. I really love the dark green color & like the dark gradations on the corners. The zipper fabric is a dark brown, but it blends very nicely.
There's lots of space, enough for a book!, and the handles/strap feel sturdy.
I added a cute frog charm for some sparkle, but the bag is pretty on its own too!
