The Prince­ton Col­lec­tions of West­ern Amer­i­cana were born with the 1947 gift of the col­lec­tion of imprints and man­u­scripts focused on over­land nar­ra­tives, the cat­tle trade, and the Rocky Moun­tain West gath­ered by Philip Ash­ton Rollins, Class of 1889. Mr. Rollins was a gen­tle­man scholar whose book on the cow­boy is widely admired. This gift of Rollins and his wife, Beu­lah (Pack) Rollins, not only reori­ented all pre­vi­ous acqui­si­tions in the sub­ject at Prince­ton, but remains a lode­stone attract­ing other West­ern collections.
