About this Item
First printing. Marshal Bond, Jr. - who accompanied his father on several of his journeys - tells the story of his father's adventurous life, using his firsthand knowledge as well as his father's diaries and letters. Bond (1867-1941) drove cattle in Texas, went to the Klondike to search for gold, where he became friends with Jack London (the dog in Call of the Wild is based on Bond's dog) and from there to the deserts of the Southwest and to Mexico City. He boated the Colorado River, lived in a shack in Goldfield Nevada, where he reported on the gold rush there, found himself in the middle of Pancho Villa's fighting in Mexico in 1918, traveled the length of Africa and finally in the 1930s to the gold rush in the Mohave in California. INSCRIBED on the half title page. Illustrated with photographs. Index. x, 258 pp. Very near fine in a like dustjacket. Seller Inventory # 87323
