Hardcover. Zustand: Fine. Limited First Edition. One of 400 copies, quarto size, [112] pp., inscribed by the author. A biography and bibliographical checklist of George Wharton James (1858-1923). James was the author of over twenty major books and hundreds of lesser works on the American West.

James was a passionate student of the American West, and traveled and photographed the region extensively.
