...some old "family" books. I haven't found any books worth selling at the moment. The ones with sigs and inscriptions that I have are worth very little, so better to keep them. However, I did find 5 books about some ancestors of my mother's side of the family. They were "Doctors of Divinity," father and son during the latter two thirds of the 19th c. The son seemed to be a fairly prolific writer, and I'm almost ashamed to say that I haven't read any of them (although some of the prose is good enough to put an insomniac to sleep). I think that considering the condition of most of them, donating to a library or interested archive would be the politic thing to do if no one wants the books when I shuffle off this mortal coil. I put links to the via libri search just for interest's sake. Wendy
Wa-Pee-Moostooch or White Buffalo, Rev. John McDougall
(Most valuable one of the lot, but my copy is missing back cover, and not in good condition -- it's paperback, not hardcover.)
Saddle, Sled and Snowshoe, John McDougall
(Not good condition -- electrician's tape (!!!) around spine on cover, front cover split from rest of book, loose pages, but all seem to be present.)
George M. McDougall, John McDougall (pub. 1888)
(Inscribed to my great-grandfather by Elizabeth McDougall, Morley, Alberta, 1890)
In The Days Of The Red River Rebellion, John McDougall
(my copy pub. 1903 -- wide variance on price...)
