London: Herbert Jenkins Ltd.. Very Good with no dust jacket. 1924. First Edition. Cloth. Boards lightly worn and rounded, owner name on front pastedown, spine cracked. A scarce autobiography by Victorian entrepreneur, Member of Parliament, cattle baron, upper-class speculator turned free-silver Populist Moreton Frewen. Index, numerous vintage photographs. Frontispiece photo of Frewen with luxuriant mustache. Frewen provides an interesting look at his aristocratic and often-eccentric relatives (including nephew by marriage Winston Churchill) in England, international friends including Polish musician Ignace Paderewski and President Theodore Roosevelt. However, it is the chapters detailing Frewen's adventures as a cattle baron in Wyoming in the heady years before the Battle at Powder River and his meeting with Chief Sitting Bull near the site of the Battle of Little Bighorn, which are perhaps of the greatest historical interest. In the 1870s many British investors looked to cattle ranching on free government land as a profitable speculation and the area teemed with cowboys and cattle leading to some of the largest cattle roundups ever witnessed. Frewen suffered financial reverses in the late 1880s, however, after two brutal winters and the economic Depression of 1886 took their toll, which helped develop his adherence to bimetallism, world trade, the free silver movement and other Populist causes. Green cloth binding with black-stamped lettering on front boards and spine. Howes' USIANA succinctly notes that this book (Howes 380) provides "ten chapters on the author's disastrous cattle enterprise on Powder River, Wyoming". ; 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall; 311 pages . more information
