The Coaching Club was founded in 1875 by a number of prominent men including James Gordon Bennett William Jay and Leonard W. Jerome one of whose daughters became the mother of Winston Churchill; its purpose was to encourage four-in-hand driving in America. In this it was highly successful and for decades sponsored outings and trips that were not only social occasions but served to popularise the sport until the advent of the automobile made coaching on public roads an infrequent ceremonial. One of the mainstays of the Club in the early 1900s was Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt until his untimely death in the sinking of the "Lusitania" in 1915. No expense was spared to make this book written by the President of the Club a worthy monument to the sport and the men who made it; as a Derrydale production it is notes Frazier "fine and rare.this book doesn't show up often particularly true of the deluxe edition and it is a beauty.".

Twombly Canoe Trip August 1914. Wonderful abundantly illustrated account of a canoeing and fishing trip through the Algonquin Provincial Park in Ontario compiled from the diaries of the participants: Henry Bancroft Twombly "the Squire" and two "newly fledged lawyers" his son Edward Bancroft Twombly Yale 1912 and Theodore Stanwood Kenyon. Father and son were both members of Skull & Bones during their respective years at Yale. Henry Bancroft Twombly was the nephew of Hamilton McKown Twombly and Florence Vanderbilt Twombly of Florham. Hamilton Twombly had died in 1910 disconsolate after his only son Hamilton Jr. drowned during a camping trip in New Hampshire in 1906. From Summit N.J. the trio set out for Ottawa and then along the rail line to the Algonquin Provincial Park where their guide Don Tobin awaited them. Against a backdrop of unease over the war clouds in Europe the group canoed through lakes and streams portaging where necessary camping fishing and enjoying the rugged life. The Algonquin Park had been established in the 1890s and two large hotels had attracted one kind of visitor. The Twombly party were determined to avoid the crowds and seek out the more isolated reaches. The illustrations are snapshots taken along the way showing scenery camp life canoeing fishing with displays of trout and occasional clowning. An interesting and evocative record of a vanished world. <br/>RARE and POSSIBLY UNIQUE. unknown books

First edition inscribed by London: "Dear Cloudesley - Who is ethically disinclined to my flimflamming a capitalist society out of a dollar and a half and who therefore as a good socialist must make explanation to another good socialist namely Jack London Glen Ellen July 17/05."<br/><br/>An excellent association copy of Jack London's boxing novel. According to London Cloudesley Johns was the first person who ever wrote him about his work offering praise of the stories "To the Man on Trail" and "The White Silence" in the January and February 1899 issues of the Overland. The resulting friendship lasted until London's death see The Book of Jack London 1899 p. 277ff. "If Jack had no mentor but himself Cloudesley had Jack London - a pugnacious mentor who seldom pulled his punches. Jack's advice was born of his own experience and to Johns as to many other aspiring writers he gave of it freely. They met on several occasions. During London's writing of The Sea Wolf in 1903 Johns came up to Piedmont and the two men sailed up to the mouth of the Sacramento River on Jack's sloop Spray. There they played chess swam shot ducks and mudhens fished talked and wrote. 'The more I see of Cloudesley the more I like him' Jack wrote. 'He is honest and loyal young and fresh understands the discipline of a boat and is a good cook to say nothing of being a good-natured and genial companion'" Walker and Reesman p. 15.

With seven etchings by Gordon Allen who printed and has numbered and signed each plate. 1 vols. Folio 14 x 11 inches. No effort has been spared to make this book in the words of the publisher "one which would add to the genre and go on to become a valued and sought-after volume". Printed letterpress by Darrell Hyder The Sun Hill Press on heavyweight French Rives paper each etching numbered and signed by the artist elegantly bound by one of America's foremost binders this is a labor of love well worthy of the author of "The Ristigouche". <br/><br/>The text is taken from an article written by Dean Sage for the August 1875 issue of the Atlantic Monthly: it was Sage's first literary effort he was then 34 and describes his first encounter with Salmo salar on two tributaries of the legendary Ristigouche. The article was prompted by Sage's friends Samuel Clemens Mark Twain and Atlantic editor William Dean Howells to whom posterity--as will be seen by the reader of this sumptuous work--owes a debt of thanks. <br/><br/>IMPRESSIVE.
