Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Very Good dj. First Edition. [a good sound copy, some irregular dampstaining on the top edge of the text block (not affecting the book's internals), one-time owner's childishly-printed name on the front endpaper; the jacket is modestly edgeworn, with some creasing and scuffing to the rear panel].

The stories are grouped under eight headings: "Wild Horses"; "Indian Life"; "Covered Wagons and Trails"; "The Gold Rush"; "Pioneers and Heroes"; "Outlaws and Desperadoes"; "Ranch and Range"; "The West Today." Includes contributions by Chief Buffalo Child Long Lance, Stanley Vestal, J. Frank Dobie, Mark Twain, Bret Harte, Walter Noble Burns, Will James, Zane Grey, William Saroyan, John Steinbeck, and many others. Illustrated by (dj painting) E. McKnight Kauffer (illustrator).…
