Hardcover. Condition: Fine. First - Limited to 1,000 Copies. 389 pages, 143 black and white photographic ill. 8 1/2 x 11 inch format. Mac's final book before passing away. A nearly 400-page blockbuster. Covers the antelope of Africa, and the spiral-horned antelope together with antlered game from all over the world. Although spiral horned antelope have long held a mystical attraction for the big game hunter, there are relatively few on the subject. Hunting for other African antelope have been described but never before in a way that presents them in the same challenging environment as the spiral horned game. These stories are a testimony to Mac's story telling ability, to his enthusiasm as a big game hunter and to his dedicated quest for all the African antelope. The following are some of the professionals who guided Mac on hunts described herein: Glen Cottar, Tony Seth-Smith, Karl Luthy, Derek McLeod, Durival Simoes, Norman Deane, Ian Henderson, Peter Johnstone, Gary Kelly, Rohil Nana, Gary Powell, Chappie Scott, Ron Sparrow, Claude Vasselet, Jose Ruis. As regards Antlered Game, Mac took several hundred animals representing 37 races and 19 species. Deer are one of the smartest game animals and represent a tremendous quarry - especially when a trophy specimen is sought. And it's all here in one blockbuster volume. Book fine but no jacket.

This unusually well-preserved archive of a Roaring 20's Jazz Orchestra musician and Band Leader in the Pacific Northwest reveals the exuberance and business success of this largely forgotten artist through his successful years before foundering during the Great Depression. Both scrapbooks open with clippings, thank you and recommendation letters, as well as dance broadsides and photographs during 1926 at the height of Lyle Lewis's orchestra appreciation. Testimonials include B.J. Saad who owned the Garden Dancing Palace, and stated "I have taken the Garden, which is second to no other ballroom west of Chicago. That is why I have secured Lyle Lewis, recognized as one of the best orchestra leaders on the Coast." C.W. Craig of Lipman Wolfe & Co., department store extolls that Jazz music dance held at the Multnomah Hotel March 16, 1926 that "I don't think we have ever enjoyed better or more up to date dance music than that furnished by your splendid aggregation." Broadsides and notices advertise the Lewis Jazz Orchestra playing the Grand Ball Room at the Masonic Temple, Congress Hotel, leading McElroy's Oregonians at the McElroy's Spanish Ballroom, the Dessert Hotel Oasis near Spokane, parties for Studebaker and more. One of the mounted letters includes a rather sad severance letter signed by Cole McElroy explaining the circumstances of Lyle Lewis's leaving stating "I realise that you were a victim of circumstances. On account of the fact that you had a fine band organized. . . certain music masters of the theatre jobs saw fit to take your men away from you, thereby breaking up your fine band and forcing me to make a deal for another organization." McElroy (1888-1947) was known as "Pop" McElroy, was a popular band leader, who during the years before World War I, and after played the Palm Gardens often, and had great success in his McElroy Spanish Ballroom which opened in 1926, and then opened another Seattle McElroy Ballroom in 1928. Several TLS on letterheads include those for KXL Radio station, KGW Radio Station, and the KOIN Studio Director for The Portland News which played three nights a week on air for over six months. The many photographs capture the Lyle Lewis band joking around with their instruments on the road, fully arrayed on stage, in the Radio Station, posing at various venues, stages, and even one as late as 1939 conducting the Lyle E. Lewis Dance Orchestra. The band included Cluet Mansfield, formerly with Henry Halsted band, William Webber on drums, Eddie Scroggins & Frank Champion as sax players, G. Berardinelli on Bass, and also played dances at the Irvington Club, Multnomah Athletic Club, and for a while with the historic Congress Hotel in Portland, which had been the City's first reinforced concrete building, erected during the Progressive Era, and by 1924 expanded to 119 rooms with vibrant Jazz ballroom. The daily diaries for 1929 and 1930 show that Lewis regularly played at the Cotillion Hall (now the Crystal Ballroom) initially at $ 7.00 per night in 1929, and then steadily dropping to less than half by 1933. He writes about traveling for a gig in San Francisco with Mansfield in 1929, leaving Tuesday and arriving Wednesday, Sept. 18, 1929, driving 40 mph, and getting 19 miles to the gallon, with a drive made in 19 hours and 15 minutes. He played extensively at the Bungalow Club in Seaside, OR which had opened originally June 19, 1920, and for more than 25 years was the destination for the biggest names in the Big Band Jazz era, including Lyle E. Lewis, Cole McElroy, Duke Ellington, Bob Crosby, Glenn Miller, and tragically became connected with the death of Jimmie Lunceford who died from a heart attack just before playing his last set at the Bungalow, after playing McElroy's Ballroom in Portland 2 nights before. Lewis (1890-1948) was a popular Portland,
