Item description from seller

Hardcover, without dust jacket. Re-print of the original 1926 copyright. 8vo(5.75 x 8 in.). Black cloth over boards. Gilt titling on the front and spine. Gilt on the author line shows rulbbing and is diminshed. Binding is solid, corners are sharp. Edge wear is minimal. Pages are clean and still fairly bright. On the front and rear fixed pages are what appear to be adhesive shadows, perhaps from an original dust jacket. Burnham's biography is remarkable, starting with being raised on a Lakota reservation as a boy, moving into the cowboy life as a teenager. . His start as an adventurer included heading to the Klondike in pursuit of gold. Later he was in South Africa, involved in the Boer Wars as a British scout. There he befriended Robert Baden-Powell and they bonded over the skills and principles if scouting. Baden-Powell subsequently developed scouting programs for boys that, eventually, became the Boy Scouts. He credited Burnham as the model and inspiration of what scouting was all about. None of this is in the book, which mainly covers Burnham's years abroad in conflicts.Illustrations and photos appear within the text and there is a high quality section of photos and the very rear. Burnham dedicated this copy to a married couple and signed it "Yours sincerely, F.R. Burnham" , dating it 1938.

Description de la boutique

The legendary Brodsky Bookshop is the oldest bookshop in magical Taos, New Mexico. It was founded as an eclectic store specializing in new books in 1977 by the late Lee Brodsky in a long, narrow space next to the Taos Inn on Paseo del Pueblo Norte. In the 1980’s Lee purchased Dr. Cook’s old office (alleged to have once been a house of ill-repute) a little farther up Pueblo Norte across from Kit Carson Park, and the bookshop moved for the first time. When Lee went to Book Heaven in 1992, my husband (Rick Smith) and I (Morris Witten) bought the bookshop. Along with the off and on assistance of some dedicated staff and the occasional help of our sons, we have continued Lee’s tradition of a highly eclectic but always fascinating family owned and operated bookshop. When the internet changed bookselling forever (the last book we sold some awfully good customers was “Internet for Dummies”) we began to take a few used books in trade. In the late 90’s we moved the bookshop three doors North to the Ortiz Building (across from the Nicolai Fechin House)and began dealing in both new and used books. We also carry a strange and interesting ever-changing selection of LPs. On March 1st, 2021, we moved one block north into a cozy spot more suitable for doing business online; i.e., space for more books and room to pack boxes. Our online inventory features some of our more unusual and outstanding titles. If you don’t see what you want here, please email us. We are happy to search for new, used and rare titles. Next time you’re in northern New Mexico stop by and say hello. As we say in our ads -- we are “the little bookshop with big surprises.”
