ROOSEVELT, Theodore. BIG GAME HUNTING IN THE ROCKIES AND ON THE GREAT 
PLAINS. New York: G. P. Putnam's Sons, 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. Tasteful 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.           $7,500.00
