Handwritten manuscript, unsigned, nine pages, 3.75 x 6.75, headed “Beaver Dam Camp, October 3, 1927,” on the first page. In part: “We motored from Altadena, Cal. to Flagstaff in less than two days…The first night out found us stranded in a dark gloomy forest, with ground and brush and fire-wood thoroughly wet…Two miles west of Leonard Canyon we ran into a mud-hole impassable for the trucks…Lee brought up the horses. Night as always was in the lead. This great horse—the original Night of ‘Riders of the Purple Sage’—must have been all of 18 years old. Yet he appeared black and glossy and spirited as ever.” He also dedicates about two pages to describing a hunt, in part: “Up to this date I have seen 52 turkeys, and have had six shots, without ever getting a feather!” Contained within a contemporary loose-leaf binder as acquired from the Zane Grey estate. In fine condition. Pre-certified PSA/DNA.
