Nice “adventure’ writing with voice detailing grizzly bear habits, encounters, history, and general info about a beast the author obviously respects and admires. In good used condition with nice tight binding.

RECENT HUNTING TRIPS IN NORTH AMERICA (Recent Hunting Trips in British North America) by F. C. Selous. Hardcover. 1907, Witherby & Co. (London UK). 400 pages.
