ROOSEVELT, Theodore. BIG GAME HUNTING IN THE ROCKIES AND ON THE GREAT
PLAINS: Comprising "Hunting Trips of a Ranchman" and "The Wilderness
Hunter" 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. $6,500.00
