Hardcover. Condition: Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. This original, large octavo, 1924 first edition in dark green cloth with bright gilt titles is in "good" condition. Pages in second half of book show dampstaining / tidemarks to the margins closest to spine -- spine was evidently damp, at some point. Corners toed in slightly; T…op Edge Gilding is moderately worn but still at about 75 percent; we can find no foxing. Gilt titling to spine and front board remain strong. Inscribed to top of half-title page "To Clay Boddie" (though it could be "Goddie") "from John Clay / 24th April 1926 / 75 yrs old today." We thus have the recipient's 1851 birth date, but have been unable to trace him. All the glossy B&W photographic plates here -- including Teddy Roosevelt & Co. on horseback -- are firmly attached where they ought to be. "One of the best books on ranching." -- Everett Graff. "This well-written book about the authors' ranch experience has become scarce in the first edition, and is one of the much-sought-after cattle books. He was one of the better-known ranch owners of the Northwest and a well-educated Scotchman. His picture of ranch life is authentic. He relates many incidents of the Johnson County War and tells about Tom Horn." -- Ramon Adams. "A Scot, he traveled widely in the American West and Canada, observing closely and accurately. He played an important part in financing several large companies, and was instrumental in the reorganization of the failed Swan Land and Cattle Co. The book is best on the Wyoming ranges, where British investment was heaviest. There is much on the Wyoming Stock Growers Association," reports Bill Reese. Adams Herd 475, Adams Six-Guns 434, Howes 470, Graff 748, Dobie pp. 98-99. Totals 366 pp., now reduced from $780.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. This original, large octavo, 1924 first edition in dark green cloth with bright gilt titles is in "very good" condition. Top corners toed in slightly; Top Edge Gilt slightly worn but still at about 90 percent; we can find no foxing. Inscribed to blank FFE "To Capt. Tipping…e from his friend John Clay." Attached to blank recto of the frontispiece author portrait is a further letterhead label from John Clay & Co., Union Stock Yards, Chicago, Ill. addressed by typewriter to "Capt. Tippinge, Duns, Scotland." A Capt. V. Gartside Tippinge, of Berrywell, Duns, Berwickshire, in the Scottish borderlands, appears to have served in the Royal Scots during the Great War. More than that we know not, save that (per the Coldtsream Local History Society) a Lt. Frank Gartside-Tippinge, 19 Squadron, Royal Flying Corps, son of Vernon and Annie Gartside Tippinge of Berrywell, Duns, Berwickshire, was killed in action on 6th November 1917 and is commemorated on the Arras Flying Services Memorial, Arras, France. It is believed he crashed near Passchendaele, Ypres and was the 21st and final victim of the German ace Lt. Hans Ritter von Adam, as von Adam was himself killed in action on 15th November. (19 Squadron flew the Spad V11 before replacing them with Sopwith Dolphins in late November, 1917.) All the glossy B&W photographic plates here -- including Teddy Roosevelt & Co. on horseback -- are firmly attached where they ought to be. "One of the best books on ranching." -- Everett Graff.

Contact seller5-star sellerFirst edition. First Edition. Cloth. 300pp. Illustrated with numerous woodcut-plates by Howard Simon. A great personal account of life in southwestern New Mexico. Of equal interest is that this book came from the library of Fred Barton. With the exception of a few years in a New Jersey military school, Fred grew up ranching in M…ontana, where he established the Y-Bar Ranch in Miles City, Montana. In 1911, at the age of 24, he was hired by the Russian army, eventually establishing a horse ranch in the remote interior regions of China. Working with the U.S. Army to procure the American horses that he needed, he cross bred American Morgan horse with the large Russian Orlov horse to develop a breed to then be bred with the Mongol ponies from nearby Mongolia. When the Japanese invaded China in 1937, Barton left China and returned to the United States. This book has one 4.875" x 7.375" photograph of Fred neatly affixed to the front pastedown, which shows what appears to be a full-length, oil-painting portrait of Fred, in his cowboy attire, labeled as Miles City, Montana 1906. Neatly affixed to the rear pastedown are 2 more photographs of Fred, both on horseback, one 5.5" x 4.125" taken in a corral, the other 4"x3.25" in a grassy field. Fred signed both pastedowns and referenced the Y-Bar Ranch Miles City, Montana. Fred was a cowboy of very unique experience! A few small spots, else a clean, tight very good copy.

Signed and inscribed by the author on the front endpaper: Cordially yours, Archer B. Gilfillan. Book is tight. Binding and hinges are strong and sound. Green illustra…ted boards are bright and clean. Pages are clean; endpapers show faint, scant, faint foxing. Super-rare original DJ, with $2.50 price intact on flap. DJ shows a noticeable open chip on upper right corner on front, smaller chip on front shoulder, and shallow chipping elsewhere. Rear of DJ shows two faint marks. Despite the DJ's obvious flaws, its rarity makes up for it, as these DJs have mostly crumbled away. First published in 1929, Sheep is considered the definitive account of sheepherding in the Old West. From snowy blizzards to hungry wolves, Gilfillan shares his trials and tribulations of life as a sheepherder; with added color on the cowboys and women of the Old West. A desirable early copy, in its rare, original DJ from 1936. Signed, VG+/G. Signed by Author(s).
