Rare Go West Young Man – 1970 Pioneer Stories – Geo. S. Ball Western Americana

Description

A compelling piece of Western Americana and regional pioneer history, Go West Young Man is a 1970 publication compiled and edited by George S. Ball, documenting first-hand accounts of settlers who helped shape the American West.

This volume was printed locally by the Greeley Tribune Republican Publishing Company rather than a national press, indicating a limited regional print run. Notably, the copyright page bears the statement “All rights reserved – George S. Ball,” suggesting author-controlled publication — a detail sought after by collectors of self-published and regional historical works.

The book includes an original photographic portrait of the author/compiler and a dedication honoring the courageous men and women who settled the West, adding to its historical and archival value.
