Horses I Have Known
New York: Scribners, 1940. First Edition. Octavo. Item #016937
281p. illustrated by the author. Knowing horses means knowing both the good and the bad and Will James knew the difference and was not hesitant to note the bad. "Little Eagle" not only faithfully served a blind rancher but he saved him from a flood. "Bearcat" the bucking horse no body could ride until one cowboy mastered him, the owner fired him and gave him the horse, explaining that it was humiliating that an outsider could break a horse his best cowboys could not. Many other stories with illustrations at the head of each chapter. Bound in blue-gray cloth lettered in red, spine lettering red, good copy with some browning to gutter of joints, in pictorial dust jacket with chip to upper corner and spine ends, some toning. A very good copy.
