STOBART Tom
The International Wine and Food Society's Guide to Herbs, Spices and Flavourings. Illustrations by Ian Garrard. [CBC edition]. BRIGHT, CLEAN COPY IN DUSTWRAPPER
4to., First Edition thus, with 8 coloured plates, very numerous monochrome illustrations (a number full-page) in the text and decorative endpapers; yellow cloth, gilt back, a very good, bright, clean copy in dustwrapper. First published in 1970, this is arguably the best of the single-volume compendia of herbs and spices. A well-known mountaineer and member of Hunt's 1953 Everest Expedition, Stobart later developed two other careers - as photographer and cookery writer. This volume was some twenty years in the making. Curiously elusive in this condition.

Strong William E.
A Trip to the Yellowstone National Park in July August and September 1875. From the Journal of General W. E. Strong
Washington 1876. First edition. 2 folding maps 7 line drawings and 7 tipped-in albumen photograph portraits with fine manuscript captions. 143 pp. 1 vols. 4to. Original three quarter red morocco titled in gilt on upper cover "The/ Yellowstone/ and/ The Great Geysers/Strong/1875." Ownership signature of Rhoby McM Gillespie Chicago wife of the photographer on title. Spine neatly rebacked. First edition. 2 folding maps 7 line drawings and 7 tipped-in albumen photograph portraits with fine manuscript captions. 143 pp. 1 vols. 4to. In the Yellowstone: "Such fishing I have never had before" One of the earliest descriptions of Yellowstone being the account of a hunting expedition to the north-western territories undertaken by the author and six officers plus a contingent of enlisted men including US Secretary of War Gen. Wm. W. Belknap and US Inspector General R. B. Marcy who fell ill and nearly perished on the trip as well as Gen. James W. Forsyth Lt. G. C. Doane Gen N. B. Sweitzer and Col. George L. Gillespie whose photographic portraits illustrate the book. The party traveled some 5000 miles by rail stage steamer and horseback in 53 days seeking elk deer buffalo and other game as well as wild fowl; due to the season of the year game was not as plentiful as hoped but the abundance of trout exceeded all expectations and almost 500 large ones were caught see pp. 54-57. Another impediment to hunting were the "hostile Sioux who were constantly lurking around in great numbers;" it was perhaps prophetic that on September 3 1875 they met and were entertained by General George Armstrong Custer of the 7th Cavalry at Fort Lincoln just nine months before the Battle of Little Big Horn. As befitting "one of the most famous sportsmen in the country" Custer and his wife and sister lived in great state on the post surrounded by the General's hunting trophies of which there were many. Circumstances prevented Strong from retaining the head or hide of the huge leader of a buffalo herd which he shot but the event is described in lively detail. Also noteworthy are the author's splendid descriptions of Yellowstone and the surrounding territory. Many accounts of Yellowstone and the Northwest were to follow but this one in its depiction of the country the sport and the individuals who participated in this early adventure is a gem and equally rare. <br/>A FASCINATING AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNT OF FRONTIER SPORT AND EXPLORATION IN THE AMERICAN WEST.
