Bibliography. Index. Former owner's signature on ffep and some penciled notes on the same. Stewart Holbrook's long review in the New York Herald Tribune is cut out and affixed pasted to the rear paste down and folded. Now we present a mystery. Affixed to the verso of the rear free endpaper facing the newspaper article and with flaps folded is a dj for the same book but showing the price of $4.00 on the flap. Both American & Canadian firsts sport the price of $4.50. However the Holbrook review has $4.00 for the book! The top edge of this extra dj is trimmed back a bit 1/4". Did the publisher intend to publish at $4.00 retail and change its mind and print the same dj with the higher price We don't know. Oh and the original owner of the copy wrote $4.00 on the ffep! The copy is vg with a little fading to the spine; the dj is chipped and has a crease down the front panel. The main chip is to the publisher's name at the bottom a triangle chip removing most of the name. No longer common and this copy ideal for the collector who wants out of the ordinary copies. Oh yes and a wonderful addition of the R of A Series this one being that historical British Columbia river. Rinehart & Co hardcover

According to one website Wise was "The 1976 winner of the Interior Rodeo Association's Bert Roberts Memorial Award -- given to the person who has contributed the most to the promotion of the sport of rodeo." I cannot tell you how thorough and remarkable Wise's rodeo photos are. It appears that the rodeos represented are all around the British Columbia interior of the Cariboo Chilcotin a vast country I have driven through off and on: Douglas Lake Kelowna Clinton Quesnel Williams Lake many more. One entry on pages 218-219 is a good sample with photos "A bull riding classic / Deightman vs. Head Hunter." "It's mighty rare when a cowboy turns down a drink with his partners at stampede time. Mertis Dightman did it once. It was just after he drew the rankest bull that ever did make it to the Williams Lake Stampede" etc. One website says "In 1966 Dightman became the first black cowboy to qualify for the Professional Rodeo Association National Finals." One more example is a full page photo captioned "Diane White on the finer points of goat tying." Cowboys clowns cowgirls horses bulls cows you have it all in this extraordinary book. It is a modern rarity. Only two copies appear in world libraries. Moderately worn covers and back cover with a corner triangle crease. The Picture Man Photographic Workshop unknown
