Included in this lot is “Scorpion a Good Bad Horse” by Will James; it is a first edition and was published in 1936. Will James (June 6, 1892 - September 3, 1942) was a French-Canadian artist and writer of the American West. He is known for writing “Smoky the Cowhorse”, for which he won the 1927 Newbery Medal, as well as 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. This book is about a young orphan boy who finds companionship with his horses and an old trapper as they travel together through the Rocky Mountains of the Old West. This book is about an outlaw, Tim, trading his horse for a chestnut bronco named Scorpion that is either going to be mighty good or mighty bad. The book is in fair condition, with wear to the inside cover of the book, some wear to the top and bottom of the spine, and browning to the pages. It measures 8 1/4" x 5 3/4" x 1".
