Featured in this lot is this 1930 first edition copy 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; how an old French trapper, whom the boy calls Bopy, adopts him and takes him on his long hunts; how when he is hardly more than a little boy, Bopy is lost in an icy river and the child, heartbroken, rides down into the prairie region alone--on his own. James gives a complete and varied idea of how a cowboy lives as he moves toward his remote objective: becoming an artist. This book shows a green cover with glint gold lettering across the front and spine of the book. The front cover shows a cowboy on top of a horse with his lasso in hand. This book shows very good condition and measures 8 1/2" long by 6" wide and 1 1/2" thick.
