Description

Hardcover, pictorial olive green cloth lettered in white and mounted scout in orange, black and white. 644 pages. Illustrated with 4 color plates by Lejaren A. Hiller. First edition with same date on title and copyright page, and with “Published, October, 1910”. A prolific writer on wilderness and outdoor lore, written at a time when the American frontier was vanishing, White’s books were immensely popular. The present book, a sequel to The Adventures of Bobby Orde published the same year, is a typical example of his fiction based on current issues. Its protagonist, a young college man, finds himself undergoing hardships in a California lumber camp, while on the national the scene the government and lumber companies war over the preservation of the natural beauty of California’s forests. No previous ownership marks. Mild foxing to bulked edges of sheets not affecting interior and spine lightly faded. Else a clean, square, tight and unmarked copy in an attractive period binding. Very good.
