Featured in this lot is a 1930 First Edition of “Lone Cowboy” by Will James. Illustrated by the author, the narrative of “Lone Cowboy” tells how a little boy, hardly more than a baby, becomes an orphan in the West and how an old French trapper, whom the boy calls Bopy, adopts him and takes him on his long hunts. When the boy is still young, Bopy is lost in an icy river and the child, heartbroken, rides down into the prairie region alone. James gives a complete and varied idea of how a cowboy lives as he moves toward his remote objective, becoming an artist. William Roderick James was a Canadian-American artist and writer of the American West. He is known for writing "Smoky the Cowhorse", for which he won the 1927 Newbery Medal, and numerous "cowboy" stories for adults and children. His artwork, which predominantly involved cowboy and rodeo scenes, followed "in the tradition of Charles Russell", and much of it was used to illustrate his books. In 1992, he was inducted into the Hall of Great Westerners of the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum. This green clothbound gold gilt lettering hardcover is in very nice condition with a bit of slight scuffing to cover edges. The front cover shows a cowboy on top of a horse with his lasso in hand. Intact deckled pages exhibit age tanning and slight foxing. No other obvious marring noted, measures 5.75"W x 8.5"L x 1.5"D approximately.
