No inscriptions or marks. A lovely clean very tight copy with bright unmarked boards and no bumping to corners. Dust jacket not price clipped or torn or creased. 244pp. David Douglas, the most extraordinary and most prolifically successful botanist of all time, travelled between 1823 and 1834 all over the North American continent on behalf of the Royal Horticultural Society of London. His name is perhaps best remembered for the Douglas fir. He shot the rapids of the Columbia River, braved onrushing grizzly bears and Indian arrows, climbed peaks in the Rockies, fell in love with a Chinook Princess, and finally, when only thirty five, died in mystifying circumstances in a cattle pit in Hawaii.
