PONY TRACKS [REMINGTON'S FIRST BOOK] Frederic Remington NF Hardcover B&W Illustrations Harper & Brothers New York 1895 1st Edition 1st Printing A Near Fine copy of the first edition, first printing, ofFrederic Remington's debut book with a frontispiece and 69 additional illustrations by Remington and one page of undated ads to the rear (modest edge rubbing and some minor handling soil, spine darkened, some spotting to the closed page block's top edge, contemporary gift inscription to the front free endpaper -- although this is a heavy book, the endpapers are not cracked). While Remington had previously illustrated the work of otherauthors, this is the first book that Remington wrote, a work born when Remington suggested to a Century editor that someone should be sent out to author an Indian story for Remington to illustrate and the editor suggested that Remington do it himself. A Near Fine copy of Frederic Remington's debut book --- a meaningfully better copy than usually is seen and rather uncommon, especially when in a condition as nice as is this copy. Near Fine.
