Description :

Client's father was a big game hunter from Alaska who hunted in the Americas and Asia. These are from his reference collection. He used these books to prepare for an Altai sheep hunt in the 1980s (he ended up with a record Argali and completed his Super Grand Slam). See photos to judge condition for yourself. There is pencil in the front of one volume noting "scarce".

UNKNOWN MONGOLIA – A RECORD OF TRAVEL AND EXPLORATION IN NORTH-WEST MONGOLIA AND DZUNGARIA by Douglas Carruthers. Hardcover. 1913, Hutchinson & Co. (London UK). Vol. 1: 318 pages with fold-out maps. Vol. 2: 659 pages with fold-out maps. 2 volume set detailing Siberia, the upper Yenisei Basin, the Uriankhai & Turgin Highlands, the high Altai, the Dungans, and much more.

Each book has multiple foldout maps in good condition with copious black & white photographic illustrations not typical of a hunting book of this era. The book serves as a cultural study of the area, too, as the author speaks of local traditions, hunting habits, etc.
