New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1911. Hardcover. Very good. Second printing thus. "As told by Theodore Hittell, The Adventures of James Capen Adams is the ultimate outdoor adventure story in California history, centering on a man who would have made Daniel Boone and Davy Crockett proud. It is certainly the most famous bear book associated with the Golden State. Bibliographer Robert E. Cowan declared this thrilling story 'Probably the most popular work of its time issued in California.' As a result of this book, 'Grizzly' Adams and his incredible menagerie of High Sierra beasts became a sensation first in San Francisco, and then, under the auspices of P.T. Barnum, in New York City" (Gary Kurutz, The Zamorano 80 Collection of Daniel G. Volkmann Jr.). Includes an engraved frontispiece portrait of the author and eleven engraved plates by Eastman and Loomis after drawings by Charles Nahl. Small octavo: xiii, [1], 373 pp. Original brown cloth binding, with gilt-stamped titles and decorative blind-stamped borders. Small period bookseller's label to the rear pastedown. Mild foxing to the fore-edge. The spine is darkened just a touch; otherwise very good. Zamorano Eighty 42. (Inventory #: 78080)
