Morris 8-79; the other is from the actual giver and reads "Pete from June Christmas 1979"; in a chapter beginning "I met Ernie Morris, the artist . ", this being the person of the second dedication mentioned above, an owner (Pete?) has written deprecatingly in the margin "Pompous & not a good artist. His horses and cows look posed & stiff but he thinks he's the modern Russell."; there are no other comments but three or four pages have light lines run down the margins drawing attention to particular comment in the book; dust wrapper slightly torn and creased at the foot of the spine and with a few small tears at the head but with the book itself in very good, bright condition. . . . . "[The] aim is to present to the reader a simple account of the vaquero's method of working and way of life, and the dangers and hardships he met in following a calling, which in spite of millions of words written in 'Western' books, the public knows nothing about." - in short a truthful and fascinating account of California's early cattle industry and the men amd horses who made it work. This is a good copy of the scarce first edition, here with the author's signature and an attractive dedication and an interesting tendentious comment about a character mentioned.
