Offered in this lot is a 1903 first edition of "Adventures with Indians and Game or Twenty Years In The Rocky Mountains" by Dr. William A. Allen with illustrations. Besides the wonderful Montana adventures, Indian fighting, and scouting, the book is much filled with hunting adventures in remote parts of the West during the early years of settlement; including descriptions of the game found in the Big Horn mountains and river valley. Authentic material on natives, the reservations, and settlement around Billings and Bozeman, Montana. "The life story of 'Montana Allen,' typical old-time Westerner and one of the founders of Billings. His narrative was the result of upwards of a quarter-century of loving participation in the hunt for both game and Indians. It preserves the the record of a true pioneer, who, besides being a trusted leader in Plains immigration, filled in odd moments with the occupations of express messenger, stock raiser, blacksmith, dentist, crack rifle shot and sure-fire Indian fighter." William Alonzo Allen (1848-?). He wrote four books, and worked at many a trade including miner, blacksmith, and dentist, and spent much of his life in Montana. The book is bound in brown leather with marble boards and gold gilt lettering on the spine. The book is in good condition overall, scuffing noted to cover edges, intact gold gilt top edge pages exhibit light foxing and slight warping to the bottom edges of the rear half pages, no other obvious marring noted. The book measures 6"W x 9"L x 1"D
