Red Cloth. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Fair. 1st Edition. Minimal wear to boards, pages clean, binding very good. Jacket worn and chipped along the top edge, front and back, otherwise good. William Long was a naturalist, explorer and tracker of national renown. His last book was published in 1923, but he continued to observe and write about nature. After his death in 1952, an extraordinary treasure of unpublished material was discovered by his daughter.
