Only edition. Only edition. With illustrations from photographs in text. 76, [1] pp. 1 vols. 12mo. Scarce polemical guide to wolf hunting by Benjamin Corbin (1835-1912), Civil War soldier, trapper, hunter, stockman and frontier land promoter, who called himself the "boss wolf hunter." Born in Virginia, he was raised in Ohio and hunted there and in Iowa before emigrating to North Dakota. Corbin boasts of eighty wolf scalps from Iowa, where a bounty was paid for every wolf killed, and advocates a county and state bounty for the extirmination of wolves. Corbin's Advice includes chapters on his Civil War experiences and transcripts of his struggle to get paid his wolf bounty. With discussion of the North Dakota wolf population and the cost of depredations to ranchers' flocks and herds. In Wolves and the Wolf Myth in American Literature (2009), S. K. Robisch describes one of Corbin's trapping methods as the exemplar of "what has been done to wolves in the United States .demanding that we rethink ourselves, our literature, and our mythology in earnest," and concludes, "Sometimes the job is to aim someone's face at Ben Corbin's advice and hold it there until revulsion gives way to awareness." Inscribed on the front flyleaf, "Compliments of Benj. Corbin." This copy with a stamped address panel to J. W. Freeland, Corydon, Iowa. Freeland (1840-1912) was a county judge and trustee of the town.

12mo (15 x 12 cm.). Printed on beige silk, with fringe (partly worn away), including a title page, a menu for the event on the interior pages, and members of various committees printed on the verso of the second leaf. Among the offerings at the elaborate multi-course dinner that give the flavor of the area: Fried Speckled Brook Trout, Buffalo Tongue in Tomato Sauce, Young Pig with Liver Gravy, Saddle Venison, Loin of Mountain Sheep, Roast Pigeon, Plover on Toast, and Wild Goose.

A few old stains at edges, slightly affecting a word or two, but an elegant survivor from Dakota Territory. (9850). This banquet was held in honor of the members of a commission that had been appointed by the territorial legislature to select a new capital (Yankton had been the capital since 1862). Eleven towns submitted bids (guaranteeing $100,000 and 160 acres of land) and the committee set out on a train trip through the territory in the spring of 1883 to examine the various sites and their prospects. The festivities and possibilities of Bismarck won the day, and that town was chosen as the new capital when the commission met on June 1. A suit was brought by the other towns and, after appeals, was finally decided in Bismarck's favor in the United States Supreme Court. When the territory was split in 1889, with North Dakota and South Dakota becoming the 39th and 40th states late that year, Bismarck became capital of the former.…
