NY: Outing, 1914. First Edition. Hardcover. Collectible Very Good. 1st printing. "Binding" is listed as hardcover, but although this is a cloth binding, the covers flex. Small 8vo. 197pp. Wonderfully descriptive drawings showing, step by step, how to pack a mule, horse, or I suppose donkey. Index. Several pages in rear of other Outing publications. On the ffep in bold ink is the ownership writing of "Randolf Russell -- / Troup "C" / No 311 / November 1914 / (ink drawn line/device) / Squadron A, Cavalry, N. G., N.Y." On the facing front paste down is Russell's ink address stamp, "Randolph Russell / West New Brighton / Staten Island - N. Y." A truly remarkable procedure book with many drawings showing the animal from above and how the ropes, etc., are looped and tied. Vg. Although reprinted, very, very scarce in the first edition. A real prize with the accompanying ownership information.
