Saul Brothers, Chicago, 1918, 1918. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good. 12mo gilt-stamped cloth. 156pp. Color Frontispiece & a couple of illustrations. Inscribed by Hooker to William W. Seymour, Mayor of Tacoma, Washington ca 1914. The presentation was at the request of Seymour's brother & Hooker's friend, Edmund Seymour, who wrote a full page inscription to William, "This is our old stamping ground when we were on the plains." He goes on to describe Hooker, a frontiersman in Wyoming. Also, 1/4 affixed on the rear paste down is a folded one-sheet typed letter (carbon copy) to Hooker from an even more noted frontiersman, JOHN HUNTON, dated Fort Laramie, October 7, 1920. It is not signed, but includes some fine reflections on the old days, "I have not seen a yoke of oxen for ten years. Last winter while coal was scarce and weather was cold I cut up the last of my big bull wagons and burnt them, as they were useless." A fine triple association copy of a scarce & desirable book. Moderate wear to cover extremities. Vg. Rader 1922, 6-guns 1017.
