L. A. Huffman: Photographer of the American West by Peterson, Larry Len - 2005

Missoula, Montana: Mountain Press Publishing Company, 2005. [NOTE: This is the preferred 2005 edition with 296 pages and over 500 beautiful images reproduced. The 2013 edition, which shares the same ISBN (but really should not) was downsized in format and contains only 232 pages. The 2013 edition has only about 300 illustrations -- 200 fewer than this 2005 edition]. Very Good condition. Flat, uncreased spine. Previous owner's name blacked out on the top edge of the text block. All other pages are clean and unmarked. Oversize Softcover. 12" wide by 12" tall. This very large, very heavy book [more than 5 pounds] will require extra postage for Priority and International shipments, but only the standard charge for media mail. From the rear cover: "Arriving in Fort Keogh, Montana Territory, in 1879, ten years before Montana would become a state, frontier photographer Laton Alton Huffman (1854-1931) would capture the spirit of the American West like no other artist. Equally comfortable photographing Plains Indians and working cowboys, Huffman worked both in the studio and out on the open range, carrying his camera on horseback as he documented untamed Western landscapes and the last of the buffalo herds… This handsome volume contains over 500 spectacular images of the American West, most of them from the extensive collection of Gene and Beverly Allen. Many of Huffman's printed and published collectibles and memorabilia are reproduced here for the first time.". Second Edition. Oversize Softcover. Very Good condition. xii, 296pp. Great Packaging, Fast Shipping.
