Produktbeschreibung

Trieste Publishing has a massive catalogue of classic book titles. Our aim is to provide readers with the highest quality reproductions of fiction and non-fiction literature that has stood the test of time. The many thousands of books in our collection have been sourced from libraries and private collections around the world.The titles that Trieste Publishing has chosen to be part of the collection have been scanned to simulate the original. Our readers see the books the same way that their first readers did decades or a hundred or more years ago. Books from that period are often spoiled by imperfections that did not exist in the original. Imperfections could be in the form of blurred text, photographs, or missing pages. It is highly unlikely that this would occur with one of our books. Our extensive quality control ensures that the readers of Trieste Publishing's books will be delighted with their purchase. Our staff has thoroughly reviewed every page of all the books in the collection, repairing, or if necessary, rejecting titles that are not of the highest quality. This process ensures that the reader of one of Trieste Publishing's titles receives a volume that faithfully reproduces the original, and to the maximum degree possible, gives them the experience of owning the original work.We pride ourselves on not only creating a pathway to an extensive reservoir of books of the finest quality, but also providing value to every one of our readers. Generally, Trieste books are purchased singly - on demand, however they may also be purchased in bulk. Readers interested in bulk purchases are invited to contact us directly to enquire about our tailored bulk rates.

Autorenporträt

George Wharton James was an American popular lecturer, photographer, journalist, and editor. Born in Lincolnshire, England, he immigrated to the United States as a young man after becoming ordained as a Methodist minister. He worked in parishes throughout Nevada and Southern California, gradually launching his journalism and writing careers. He edited two periodicals and wrote over 40 books, as well as numerous essays and booklets about California and the American Southwest. George Wharton James was born in Lincoln, England. He married and was ordained as a Methodist minister. He and his wife moved to the United States in 1881. He served parishes in Nevada and southern California. However, in 1889, his wife filed for divorce, accusing him of multiple acts of adultery. The Methodist Church tried him on charges of real estate fraud, using bogus credentials, and sexual misconduct. He was defrocked, but was later reinstated. James had a longstanding battle with Charles Fletcher Lummis, a California writer with comparable geographical interests. Both men traveled the American Southwest and met Father Anton Docher, a French-born missionary priest who spent 34 years among the Pueblo of Isleta in New Mexico.
