Brown boards, spine titled in gilt. Fine new copy in dust-wrapper. As the longtime editor of Safari magazine, Quimby had the chance to hunt on multiple continents for all the sundry game animals found there. In this book he tells us of hunts across North and South America; South Africa, Zimbabwe, Zambia, and other parts of Africa; Spain; Mongolia; and New Zealand. Also included is Quimby's successful quest to become one of the very few to take all ten of Arizona's big-game species. Several of his hunts were memorable for what went wrong. A horse panicked and fell off a series of ledges during a hunt for a mountain lion, which led to Quimby and a friend spending a cold New Year's Eve on a ridge without shelter or fire. Then, after he had waited thirty-nine years to draw an Arizona desert sheep tag, Bill is changing a tire on the first day of hunting when a bumper jack slips and breaks his arm. (He shot his ram and completed his "Big Ten" quest twelve days later by firing his rifle one-handed.) Some other stories include the time an Indian guide fell from a boat in the Northwest Territories and drowned on the author's caribou hunt; the time a storm on a Yukon moose hunt kept Quimby and his guide snowbound in a plywood shack for nine days. Still in publisher's shrinkwrap.

In 1918 the U.S. government decided to involve itself with the Russian Revolution by sending troops to Siberia.

Of this period Kennan writes, "Never, surely, in the history of American diplomacy, has so much been paid for so little." Name on front fly leaf, otherwise clean.
