1900190813Boston: Houghton Mifflin 1900. Hardcover. frontis by Maynard Dixon inserted i-viii 1 251p. printer's imprint 252 blank leaf very good blackish green cloth with silver buckled belt and corners silver on spine somewhat worn first edition printing of 2028 copies according to Sisson/Martens pages 2 &116 and BAL 11869 and Woodbridge. Publisher's imprint at bottom of spine first state with no periods around ampersand : Houghton Mifflin & Co.; no broken type on page 147 perfect "e" in spruce and perfect "t" in might no broken type on 64-67 commas before and after 1900 on copyright page sets of binding threads between 6/7 18/19 and every six leaves thereafter. Two neat previous owners' book plates on front endpapers. This copy matches all first printing first state points with the following two discrepancies from Sisson: 1. the frontispiece has the caption "Malemute Kid Halted Him" page 64 as opposed to "The Men of the Forty Mile" as stated in Sisson; 2. The frontispiece appears to be inserted rather than sewn-in although Swann's auctioned described first printing with frontis tipped-in stating later printings were sewn-in a disagreement with Sisson. Also to this bibliographer the color of the binding is in question as well. Appears to be a blackish-green but could be interpreted as a deep gray-green. All-in-all a very nice copy of the author's rare first book. Houghton Mifflin hardcover books
