In den WarenkorbZustand: Very good. - Quarto, a 4-page pictorial brochure measuring 11 inches high by 8-1/2 inches wide advertising a series of lectures on the American cowboy and the romance of the old West by Escott North. The cover illustration, in blue & white, depicts Escott North seated on a saddle attired in cowboy gear with hat and susp…enders holding up fur covered leather chaps. A silhouette of a cowboy on a horse illustrates the top of the page. The rear cover is illustrated with 4 vignettes framing the text: "Follow the Trail with Escott North through the Sweeping Glory of the Far West". A brief biography printed on the two inner pages frame a central portrait of North, followed by descriptions of 2 lectures respectively titled "On the Trail of the Cowboy" and "Trailing Through the Golden West". The brochure is folded twice horizontally with some soiling along the folds on the rear cover. Very good. The Englishman Escott North ("one of England's most popular lecturers") lived much of his life in the U.S. and Western Canada and "gives us the real, unvarnished picture of our own romantic rider of the plains." "Instead of the lad who rides into town, shoots up the bar and rescues the maidens in distress, Mr. North describes a hard-working fellow who puts in about fourteen or sixteen hours a day in normal times, and twenty to twenty-four in the big round-ups which occur twice a year". [Quotations are from the biographical text].
