Chapters on hunting grizzly and black bear, cougar, gray and prairie wolf, buffalo, moose, wapiti, mule deer, black-tailed and Virginia deer, pronghorn antelope, Rocky Mountain goat, and bighorn sheep (Heller, 249). The London edition was published in 1879 without illustrations. The Harper publication has a much more attractive cover and contains numerous full page and text illustrations. This is a near fine copy with a beautiful pictorial cover and gilt titles. All corners square. Original chocolate brown endpapers firm and tight. Contents clean. A wonderful copy.
