Description:
Near Fine book that has very slight bumps to corners, shelf wear to edges, pages are slightly age-toned. and with soft spine ends; in a Good jacket that has chips, largest about 1 by 2 inches top corner front panel, and tears to edges, some color loss, rubbing, and with slight fading to spine. The $4.00 price on front flap has been lined through and 2.95 written in ballpoint. This copy inscribed generically – Happy Trails – and signed by Muller on a blank end page between the half-title and title pages. Muller was better known as a Western artist whose work was influenced by C. M. Russell. Muller claims to have lived with Buffalo Bill, after his father was killed in an accident, from when he was nine until he was twenty seven. The veracity of this tale has been disputed and the tale here might be considered autobiographical fiction. The book is quite scarce signed by the author, who was the illustrator.
