About This Item
New York:: Harper & Brothers,, 1930.. First edition -. Very good in orange cloth with dark green lettering and a small illustration of the head of a horse in the lower right hand corner (minor soiling to the covers, but overall a clean and sturdy copy) . First printing. A book presumably published for young adults by this author, who was also an editor and columnist, a producer of numerous motion pictures. a lecturer and more. Graphically written it begins with a brutal scene of a small band of wild horses killed simply for their hides - the sole surviver was a young colt, grazed on the neck by a bullet - hence his name later on a stallion. Notable for the illustrations by Herbert Stoops, who was known for his old West drawings and especially his pictures of horses which capture their power and beauty. Includes a sepia frontispiece, 5 full page black line drawings,and several small vignettes. Small format, just 6 3/4 in by 5 inches. 92 pp. Orange and white illustrated endpapers.
