Ranch Life in the Far West

90pp. Monochrome illustrations in text. Linen spine over grey paper-covered boards, gilt titles on spine. Small 4to. Boards a little rubbed on edges, rounded and rubbed at spine ends. Internally neat, clean, bright and tight. The early 1880s, both Remington the artist and Roosevelt the writer were trying their hands at ranching, Remington in Kansas and Roosevelt in Dakota territory. Their respective records of the experience as perhaps the most important to survive of ranching in that era and this publication, in the late 1960s, put them once again easily into public view. Contains specific material on the severe winter of 1886-87 which put an end to ranching for many. A rather finely produced volume.
