Soft cover. Zustand: Very Good. xx+386 pages with illustrations by Olaus J Murie and index. Octavo (8" x 5 1/4") bound in original publisher's pictorial wrappers. In The Voice of the Coyote, J. Frank Dobie melds natural history with tales and lore in articulating the complex and often contentious relationship between coyotes and humans. Based on his own life experiences in Texas and twenty-five years of research, Dobie forges a sympathetic and nuanced picture of the coyote prefiguring later environmental and conservation movements. He recognizes the impact of human action on the coyote while also examining the prominent role of the coyote in the myths and legends of the West. Condition: Corners bumped, points and spine ends rubbed else better than very good.

Buch Erstausgabe
Soft cover. Zustand: Very Good. 1st Edition. 23 pages. Royal octavo (9 1/2" x 6 1/2") bound in original publisher's pictorial stapled wrappers. Reprinted from the Southwestern Historical Quarterly, Volume LX, Number 3. First separate printing. James Bowie had the flavor, the mettle, the daring in gesture and deed, and the generosity of spirit that make certain actors on the stage of life go beyond themselves into other selves and thus do more and say more than they actually said or did. People used to name their horses, their oxen, their hounds after Bowie. This is fame. Bowie's impact on human imagination, which is to say on social history, was far stronger than on political or military history. Condition: Some light marginalia, edge wear, corners bumped else very good.
