NOME, ALASKA BY WILLIAM BRONSON On all multiple items after the first, you will receive a 10% discount.Postage will be combined and refund granted if saved. Folks, in the early days (before Gold), Nome was nothing - save for eight hundred Eskimos, a bunch of squaw men and lots of ice. All that changed when three guys named Eric Lindblom, John Brinterton and Jafet Linderberg staked claims that were later to make them millionaires. And soon- well: NEWS SPREAD FASTER THAN A SPRING THAW and early arrivals broke every claiming law in the book, got away with it, and became filthy rich. And as many of you know, I look in old basements, hot attics and musty rooms searching for rarely read and seldom seen stories and pictures of old Western Americana. Here is “NOME,” by William Bronson, containing page after page of stories of the early days plus great black and white photos and a map showing the routes to Nome. Oh, what lovely stories of times gone past accompanied by 12 pages of text and pictures plus the cover photo of the beach of Nome, Alaska at the turn of the century. This is highly sought after. OLD GOLD RUSH MEMORABILIA IS RAPIDLY DISAPPEARING Please read this. There were many a western story published – the common ones about Cowboys and Indians are listed on eCRATER every day but the rarer ones like this more expensively printed western never make it. Collectors get to them first and never let ‘em go. They are hard to find. I hunt them out because really the better, untold and rarer stories were published in the rest. Here’s one of ‘em.

Following my retirement, I have dedicated my remaining hours to indexing the Genealogy of our western pioneers. During my research, I discovered that thousands of our kinfolk lay unfound and unrecognized on some book dealer’s shelf gathering dust. Because Old Western History and Memorabilia was printed before computer indexing, I index every item I sell. This complete index will be bound and included in this offering at no additional cost. Humbly, I am trying to keep our history alive. I hope you appreciate the effort.

It’s a shame that our past is being lost. It’s as simple as that. My wife kids me that after I find a piece I like, buy it, read it, research it, take a picture, scan it, write the blurb, pay the eCRATER entry fee and commission, that I end up making about 50 cents an hour. But, OH HOW I LOVE THIS OLD WESTERN HISTORY. What a story, Rare Story!!! Great Pictures. You will love it as it was published in this old complete western magazine printed on heavy slick paper many years ago. The issue is in excellent condition, the cover is pristine and in vibrant color. As clearly stated in my description, this is featured story in a rarely found and seldom read unusual and complete western magazine. I don't give out name of publication or date because I have caught competitors copying my index and work and trying to sell it as theirs. I hope you understand.
