Featured in this lot is the illustrated First Edition of "Through Glacier Park" by Mary Roberts Rinehart. "Through Glacier Park: Seeing American First with Howard Eaton", was published by Houghton Mifflin Company, The Riverside Press Cambridge 1916. There is a full page portait of the author next to the title page, and beautiful illustrations throughout the book. Mary Roberts Rinehart was an already famous mystery writer before writing this travelogue. In this book she introduces readers to the recently minted national park, to the scenic wonders of Montana, and to the adventures to be found there. Howard Eaton, an intrepid guide who had become known for his Yellowstone experience, had convinced Rinehart to make the trek to the West. Traveling three hundred miles on horseback with a group of more than forty assorted tourists of all shapes and sizes, she took in her fellow travelers, the scenery, and the travel itself with all the style, aplomb, and humor of the talented fiction writer and journalist she was—and her words remain fresh and entertaining to this day. The green cloth bound cover is in overall good condition, slight scuffing of cover edges and colour fading on top edge of front cover, intact pages have age tanning and slight foxing consistent with the book's age. No other obvious damages noted, measures 5"W x 7.75"L x .5"D
