STANLEY OUT WEST HENRY MORTON STANLEY (1841-1904). Out West during Two Indian Campaigns . Printed for private circulation: [n.d. but circa 1897]. 4° (313 x 240mm.). 48pp. Original blue cloth, spine lettered in gilt at head; together with two gazetteers of the United States, dated 1836 and 1853. A rare reprint of Stanley's articles for the Missouri Democrat , privately published. The articles were first published between March and November, 1867, when he was acting as special correspondent with General Hancock's expedition to impose reservation treaties on the Indians of the northern plains. The campaigns against Comanche, Sioux and Kiowa, who had successfully taken army outposts and halted the efforts of construction gangs to complete the transcontinental rail link, proved both cruel and ineffective. The two gazetteers have been well used by Stanley presumably during his journalistic exploits in the mid West. It seems likely that Stanley decided to re-issue his early journalistic work, after his tour of the States in 1890, using the opportunity to acquire copies of the Missouri Democrat. (3)
