"COW RANGE AND HUNTING TRAIL" By Malcolm S. Mackay with illustrations by
Charles M. Russell. Published by G.P. Putnam's Sons: 1925.
A scarce Western hunting title inscribed by the author.
"Cow Range and Hunting Trail" is a collection of short stories recounting
Malcolm S. Mackay's hunting adventures in the wilderness, much of it
beneath the Beartooth mountains. An avid hunter, Mackay stalked bighorn
sheep, elk, grizzlies, and the white rams of the Kenai in Alaska. In
addition to three drawings by Charles M. Russell, the book has thirty-five
black and white illustrations from photographs depicting everything from
old cowboys in unspoiled landscapes to hunting camps to trophy grizzly
pelts, rams heads and a magnificent seven point elk rack.
Born in 1881, Mackay was the scion of a member of the New York Stock
Exchange. He became enamored of the west at age sixteen and at age nineteen
he began acquiring land near Red Lodge, Montana, which eventually became
the seventeen thousand acre Lazy EL Ranch. The ranch is still in operation
and owned and operated by Mackay's descendants.
The volume is inscribed by Mackay to Livingston L. Biddle, the father of
author Livingston Biddle, Jr.
No reserve.
