HORGAN,  Paul.  GREAT  RIVER: THE RIO  GRANDE  IN  NORTH
          AMERICAN  HISTORY.  New York: Rinehart & Company, Inc.  1954.
          First Edition.  Two volumes, illustrated with maps and  color
          plates.  Winner  of both the Bancroft Prize and the  Pulitzer
          Prize for  history and originally intended to be published as
          part of  the  Rivers of America series, this account  of  the
          region  is  considered by most to be definitive. One of  1000
          copies  illustrated and SIGNED by the author. Laid in is  the
          scarce  prospectus for the book in the form of a single sheet
          folded  like  a  greeting  card with two  of  Horgan's  color
          illustrations.  Inserted  into that is a business reply  card
          order form  which  together  with  the prospectus  is  in  an
          envelope  addressed  to  the  original  owner.  Fine  without
          dustwrappers in Fine slipcase, as issued. Lovely.     $500.00
