A collection of two souvenir books and printed ephemera from two 1939 hunting events with Texas connections, and related gatherings in 1940 and 1941. The first book is an illustrated souvenir book of the annual pronghorn hunt in southwest New Mexico, at the famed Adobe Ranch owned by A.T. "Cap" McDannald of Houston, Texas. The photographs are mounted above printed captions and record bear and antelope hunts, and the book is signed by A.T. McDannald and many of the participants: Ray W. Smith, Gene Farren, T.E. Swigart, Elliot Barker, S. Marcus Greer, George E.B. Peddy, Jimmy Lawry, W.H. ("Tommy") Thompson, J.W. Gist, A.D. Simpson, R.C. Hochmuth, G.W. Yates, Gus Meyer, R.M. McDannald, C.E. McDannald, and Chase Sutton (signature). A portrait of McDannald with trophy is additionally inscribed by Cap to Bill Cason. The second volume is a small illustrated booklet commemorating the September 1939 White Wings Shoot, a dove hunt in McAllen, Texas, in the Rio Grande Valley, organized by "Blackie" (Halliburton Oil Well Cementing Company) and "Brownie" (Brown Oil Tools, Inc.). Bill Cason is listed among the participants and as a pilot for one of the Halliburton planes that flew the party from Houston to McAllen. With a printed luggage tag from the "Blackie" & "Brownie" 1939 Hunt. Four additional items relate to these events: a yellow armband embroidered "HOST"; a small leather badge in form of a cowhide branded W.M. Cason; invitation in the form of an embossed cowhide to the Big Game Hunter's 5th Annual "Roundup" wild game dinner at the Braeburn Country Club, March 19, 1940; and Cason's slightly smaller three-page invitation to the 1941 Wild Game Bar-B-Q and Jamboree. Neither of the volumes is listed in OCLC and are apparently unrecorded. A collection of rare records and souvenirs from these lively Texas hunting expeditions. Two volumes. ADOBE RANCH: Thirty photographs mounted on nine leaves, two small portrait snapshots, two printed illustrations. WHITE WING SHOOT: Illustrated throughout, two foldout spreads. [40]pp. Plus four ephemeral items, described below. Both volumes plastic comb bound. ADOBE RANCH: Oblong quarto. Original pictorial boards. Signed by participants on inside front cover (small portion of inside front cover paper torn away, with loss of portion of a signature); photograph of Cap McDannald inscribed by him on the mount. Some staining from inserted materials. WHITE WING SHOOT: Small octavo. Some edge wear. Overall very good. In a cloth chemise and half morocco and cloth slipcase, spine gilt.
