Included in this lot is a copy of "Primitive Travel and Transportation" by Otis Tufton Mason. This book is a first edition, but has a new binding and cover. It was published in 1896 in Washington, D.C. by the Government Printing Office. This book is unique because its starting page is 239. Some of the pages are illustrated with plates (some from photographs) and line drawings in the text. The book includes detailed descriptions of methods of travel and moving and carrying things in different primitive cultures. This book, with its new binding, is in good condition for its age; the pages are also in good condition. The book measures 9" by 6 1/2".
