About this Item
Light to moderate corner and edge wear. Gilt cover ruling and spine lettering. Previous owner's name in ink and pencil on a front preliminary page. Several pages have been repaired and secured with linen library tape including frontispiece and title-page. Numerous full-page and text illustrations. Three text pages ( pp. 89,90, 427) and eight pages of advertisements at the end are supplied in facsimile and are laid-in in their appropriate spots. In spite of the listed faults, this is a very acceptable copy of an exceedingly rare book on the cattle trade. According to Adams, this is one of the "big four" cattle books, written by a man who was instrumental in opening the market for Texas cattle. 427 pp. + adverts.
