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
