Wild Life in the Far West; personal adventures of a Border Mountain Man, etc
A frontier memoir by James Hobbs, published in 1875 for American readers who bought firsthand accounts of trapping, scouting and Indian wars in the West. Full-page wood engravings show mounted Comanche warriors with lances, riders lassoing wild horses, and buffalo hunts on open plain, drawn in loose hatched line with wide empty skies useful for cut-out figures and horizon vignettes.
