Publisher's black cloth stamped in yellow and red designed by Will Bradley 1868-1962. Octavo. Map frontispiece. Title-page printed in black and red. Binding extremities lightly rubbed. Very minor wear to crown and tail of spine. The occasional minor stain. Contemporary ink signature on front flyleaf. A very good bright copy. Stanley Waterloo 1846-1913 was a Chicago-born newspaper man editor and author. The present work is about Ab a young Stone Age boy and his journey to manhood. During the course of the novel he catches a baby rhinoceros with his friend Oak and joins the men in his tribe on a hunt. After both he and his friend become enamored with Lightfoot a young woman they fight over her which ends in his friend's death. Though burdened with guilt Ab goes on to become the leader of his tribe. Waterloo's novel was based on the theory that there was not a sharp division between the Paleolithic and Neolithic periods and that mankind learned to make weapons naturally and gradually.</p> Way and Williams, hardcover
