G. P. Putnam's Sons New York 1899 First Edition Thick quarto (8" x 11") bound in the original publisher's cloth with a gilt elk on the spine, a bear stamped in black on the rear cover, and gilt-stamped labels on the spine and on the front cover incorporating a moose and a gun. Copy #276 of 1000 copies SIGNED by the author below his frontispiece portrait. Comprises two earlier books, HUNTING TRIPS OF A RANCHMAN and THE WILDERNESS HUNTER. With 55 illustrations by Remington, Frost, Beard, and others. Designed owner bookplate on the front pastedown. Contents very clean but for a small dampstain that appears on the upper right corner of just a few pages, mostly the blank front endpapers. Dampstain also to the upper right corner of the front cover but not terrible looking; some rubbing and foxing to the spine but again not very distracting. Nice copy of this desirable book, especially in the original binding. Very Good to Near Fine
