Prairie Experiences in handling Cattle and Sheep
London, Chapman and Hall Limited, 1884.
Octavo, [vi], 266, 40 (publisher's advertisements) pages plus 8 plates (from sketches by the author) and a folding map.
Two-colour pictorial green cloth a little marked and flecked, with the head of the spine slightly snagged; minimal light foxing; occasional marginal loss or tears where uncut top edges have been carelessly opened; a very good copy.
An account by an Englishman of twenty months in America in 1882-83; 'my journey took me through Wyoming, about Montana, across to Washington territory, then back from California, through Nevada into Idaho. Cattle, cow-boys, round-ups, sheep-driving, herders, and life on the prairie, these are my text'.
