Book First Edition Signed
Hardcover. Condition: Near fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Very good. First edition. Inscribed on the title page: "For Kurt, Happy hunting! Fran Hamerstrom."Uncommon signed (her first book,An Eagle to the Sky, is common signed, but her other books seem the opposite). Hamerstrom broke away from an elite--and as she saw it, effete--background in Boston to becomean important woman in ecology and conservation, the only woman to earn a graduate degree from Aldo Leopold (who encouraged her toward those chickens). Ultimately she was theauthor of a dozen books and more than 150 scientific papers. She twice won the Wildlife Society Award. With her late husband Frederick, she also won the 1971 National Wildlife Federation Award for Distinguished Service to Conservation, and she is a member of the WisconsinWriters Hall of Fame. SeeherNew York Timesobitfor more. One of Hamerstrom's later memoirs, Is She Coming Too?is described thusly on its back flap: "With the growing interest in women moving into men's sports and professions, this book should draw readers, not only from those who like good hunting yarns, but also from those who chuckle at--or fume at--some of the barriers she had to overcome. She was not always welcome." One notes that Aldo Leopold's recipes for woodcock is provided within. A near fine book with faint spotting to brown cloth and very light foxing to top text block face; in a very good plus pale jacket with edge wear to top edge, one short tear to front upper corner at flap fold, and a few smudges to rear panel.
