Featured in this lot is this 1930 copy of “Cowboys North and South” by Will James. This is a profusely illustrated copy with illustrations by the author; this book is a missive, being a firsthand story telling of the author’s experience at cow camp and working the range as a cowboy. This book shows its original decorative gray cloth with orange stamped vignette on the front cover and is lettered in black. This, Will James' first book, is a series of short stories about cowboy life in the real and actual West as it truly was between the 1870's and the early years of the 20th century. These stories, in colorful words and striking illustrations, portrayed the true working West rather than the Hollywood variety. All of the eight short stories in the book were previously printed in magazines. Seven of them appeared first in Scribner's Magazine and the last one was printed in “The Saturday Evening Post" (Frazier). The condition of this book is good, with some wear to the cover and the corners of the cover. The measurements of this book are 8" x 5 1/2".
