Englishman's charming illustrated account of his travels in the American West in 1882 and 1883. Ex-libris of Iowa State Library with sticker on foot of spine, bookplates on front pastedown and blind stamp on title page.

Shepherd, an Englishman, rendered this mildly optimistic account of his travels in the American West in 1882 and 1883 upon his return to his homeland, thereby further fueling the fire of the already marked interest on the part of British capitalists in the investment opportunities afforded by the American cattle trade. The not untalented author illustrated the work himself.
