About This Item

Boston and NY: Houghton, Mifflin and Company, (1900). Early reprint (unrecorded). Hardcover. Very good. Bright green pictorial cloth with title and illustration of trapper and dog outlined in cream; octavo; (252) pp followed by blank leaf. Frontispiece by Maynard Dixon. Moderate rubbing to cover design, minor wear to edges of covers, but very good.

Collation differs from the 3 printings of the first edition described in BAL. This printing has the most regular collation with all gatherings in 8s; the last page of text independent of the last gathering and contiguous with the final blank leaf. Cover design is the same as BAL first edition, third printing "new style" binding though that issue has the title blocked in red on the front cover. The ampersand in the publisher's imprint at foot of spine is a typographic oddity bearing little resemblance to an actual ampersand. BAL 11869; Sisson/Martens page 2.

Synopsis

A short story collection set in the Klondike. The White Silence The Son of the Wolf The Men of Forty-Mile In a Far Country To the Man on the Trail The Priestly Prerogative The Wisdon of the Trail The Wife of a King An Odyssey of the North
