Beschreibung

First edition. The very rare "Pinto edition," limited to 100 numbered copies signed by Dobie and Charles Banks Wilson with an original ink and wash drawing of a bucking bronco by Wilson tipped-in opposite the limitation page. This is the rarest of Dobie's many books and perhaps this copy is the most desirable copy in the run, designated as number "J" on the limitation page, and thus a copy retained by either the author or the publisher. Six Score 33 says "Certainly the best book on range horses, with much on cattle work. Dobie drew on previously published material from Tales of the Mustang (1936) and Mustangs and Cow Horses (1940). Many feel this to be one of Dobie's best books. Dobie says, "The author has tried to blend vividness with learning." Original red and white colt hide with the hair out, morocco label with titles stamped in gold gilt affixed to the spine, top edges gilt. Fine, bright tight copy housed in the original pictorial, cloth slipcase also in fine condition. An exceptional copy of a choice item. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 50881
