Beschreibung
Boston and New York. Houghton Mifflin Company. 1934. First Edition. [10], 3-213 [214-216] pp. With an interesting, signed inscription by Haig-Brown in the year of publication to "The Sheriff / Roderick L. Haig-Brown / Dec. 1934 / A pleasant meeting" on the front fly leaf. Ki-yu is Roderick Haig-Brown's intimate story of Vancouver Island panthers (or cougars or mountain lions, if you like), Blackstreak and Nassa and their cub, Ki-yu. These panthers roamed at the northern tip of Vancouver Island, and sometimes weigh as much as 250 pounds - powerful and fearless and who hunt deer and elk and only occasionally attack cattle and raid chicken coops. It is Ki-yu who grows to be the largest and most powerful and fearless of panthers as he ranges over the Plateau and the Wapiti Valley. And it is the story of the ranchers who fear him and seek to kill him. Haig-Brown studied panthers under the watchful eye of John Cecil Smith, the greatest of Vancouver Island panther hunters. Roderick Haig-Brown's story is based on first-hand experience, his own and Mr. Smith's. The book is bound in beige cloth with orange titles on the spine and a silhouette in orange showing a panther with black muzzle markings. Pictorial dust jacket. The book is clean and fine and the jacket is very good with light edge wear and chips with a bit of restoration on the spine panel. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 011130

Orders usually ship within 2 business days. Shipping costs are based on books weighing 2.2 LB, or 1 KG. If your book order is heavy or oversized, we may contact you to let you know extra shipping is required. My chosen shipping option is the U. S. Postal Service. USPS is the best in terms of service and cost efficiency ¿ even though recent overseas rates, effective January 2013, have skyrocketed. USPS requires mails sent overseas and Canada can ONLY be sent by AIRMAIL. Charged at actual cost. Other overseas shipping options are available, such as UPS, FedEx, DHL, etc.; however, they are frightfully expensive.
