Horace Cox. 1900 London, 1st edn, 403pp, 78 illus, 3 fold-out maps in rear pocket. A very good copy, inner hinges weak. This is the original duo-tone decorated binding (first/best state) that is found but on very few copies, most are green cloth with simple gilt stamping. Item #000206
One of the finest classics on hunting big-game in the North American west, with super photos (one of which is of the much debated 52-inch bighorn which was subsequently lost). Includes a table of measurements of trophies taken by early American and English hunters. Author was a English hunter who came to the North American continent in search of BIG heads and he found them. The photos of some of his elk are amazing and these heads would still qualify for the Boone & Crockett Club minimums today! A wonderful book, well produced, well illustrated with photos, and a joy to behold. Includes elk, bighorn sheep, bear, and deer.
