**Presentation copy from the Author to fellow writer of note, Bud Kelland, (undated).** Hard cover, 8vo., in blue publisher's cloth, embossed with border and with the title and ship vignette to the front board in gilt, and upon spine, 436 pp. Condition: Very Good, with a couple of repairs attempted at two final pages, due to a manufacturing error with the page trim. Minor rubbing to exterior corners and edges. First published in 1925, Steamboat Days is a heavily list-centric compendium of details of the industry, beginning in England, and early America.

Numerous pen and ink illustrations of individual steamboats are provided by John Wolcott Adams (1874-1925), a descendant of the famed Presidents of the same last name, as well as a successful magazine and book illustrator, who once worked with Howard Pyle teaching art at the latter's art school in Delaware. **The presentation inscription is from the Author to Bud Kelland. Kelland wrote many popular novels in the thirties and forties, his character Scattergood Baines being serialized into a run of six popular Hollywood movies.…
