The Lost Wagon by Jim Kjelgaard
Value & Price Guide

Got this old copy of The Lost Wagon by Jim Kjelgaard. It's a classic western adventure story from the 50s. The dust jacket has definitely seen better days with some wear and tear around the edges and some staining as you can see in the pics, but it's still a cool vintage find for anyone who likes old school frontier stories or collects Kjelgaard books. Selling it as is.
