Contact seller5-star sellerBoth volumes of J. Marvin Hunter's foundational cattle history, along with a copy of the "Revised volume one." "This vast compilation of original accounts by old trail drivers is one of the best cattle books, and the largest collection of first hand narratives of the range cattle industry" - Reese. Both volumes are rather crudel…y printed (supposedly bound by the publisher at his kitchen table), though full of portraits and illustrations capturing a bygone era. The first volume was apparently exhausted before the second volume appeared; therefore it was reprinted in 1924 in an edition of 500 copies, with revisions and additions and a "second edition" statement added to the titlepage. Hunter compiled these volumes through the careful collection of oral histories, interviewing hundreds of old trail drivers. These books were printed in San Antonio, but were bound (using small nails instead of stitching) in the Hunter family kitchen in Bandera, Texas. A complete set of this important work, with the second volume which was not published until 1923 and the 1924 "revised" first edition. "Perhaps the most important single contribution to the history of cattle driving on the western trails" - Adams. ADAMS HERD 1103. REESE, SIX SCORE 61. ADAMS SIX-GUNS 1084. BASIC TEXAS BOOKS 99. DOBIE, p.108. GRAFF 2020. HOWES H816, "b"; "aa." REESE, BEST OF THE WEST 241. Three volumes. 498pp. plus frontispiece; [2],496,[1]pp. plus frontispiece; 494pp. Original pictorial turquoise cloth (volume 1 and volume 1 second edition) and pictorial green cloth (volume 2). Rear hinge of volume one cracked, text lightly toned throughout. Volume two with light shelf wear, recased quite tightly, front hinge cracked, ink stain to lower edge of textblock, front hinge cracked. "Revised" first volume with light shelf wear, contemporary ownership inscription on front fly leaf. All volumes internally clean. Overall, about very good.
