Kootenay, 1890. Typescript. 62 pp. printed on rectos only, with a few holograph corrections. Illustrated with a large linen-backed folding map (24" x 31") titled "Map of the Eastern part of British Columbia" (Victoria, BC: 1888) with extensive pencil annotations on the map indicating the itinerary. Bound in vellum by Roger De Coverley with gilt rules on spine and at turn-ins, with marbled endpapers, t.e.g. In open-faced full black morocco slipcase. Typescript. 62 pp. printed on rectos only, with a few holograph corrections. Illustrated with a large linen-backed folding map (24" x 31") titled "Map of the Eastern part of British Columbia" (Victoria, BC: 1888) with extensive pencil annotations on the map indicating the itinerary. Typed transcript of an epistolary diary of hunting trip to the Canadian Rockies (eastern British Columbia) and south along the Kootenay river into northwest Montana, August 1890 to November 1890, based on letters written by Lee to Alan Stenning. The work is illustrated with a very rare map of the region by F. G. Vernon, titled "Map of the Eastern Part of British Columbia" Victoria, B.C.: 1888, likely published by the Department of Land and Works (Vernon served as the Chief Commissioner of that department). This would appear to be the first edition of the map, and amongst the earliest mappings of the Kootenay Lake region. The 1888 edition of the map is unrecorded in OCLC.
