Add to basketVG-. Generally speaking, quite remarkably well preserved. There is a small patch of fraying to the back corner of the spine heel. Aside from that, some expected touches of rubbing here and there, with just a bit of fraying to front top corner tip. There is a bit of damage to the green cloth at the top of the inside of the front board, facing the text block, that does not seem to involve any damage to the board itself. Internally, the hinges are intact and have loosened only slightly. No names, underlining, highlighting, marks, or dogears internally, with pages still excellently clean. From the Introduction: "This book is a record of impressions of a western journey undertaken for the purpose of getting out among some of the millions of good Americans who are doing their day's work as they find it, with a cheerful faith in themselves and an abounding confidence in the future of their country. This product of my note-books contains nothing that is startlingly new, nor does it pretend to be more than a series of glimpses of the splendid activities of the American West of to-day. I hope, however, that I have been able to catch, here and there, the spirit of that creative energy which has wrought such a marvelous transformation within the span of a single lifetime, and of the dauntless vigor and enterprise which have not yet lost the bold and picturesque flavor that is essentially and typically American." 327 pp., with 47 B/W photos.
