HORNADAY, William T.
Wild Life Conservation in Theory and Practice
New Haven, Yale University Press, (1914). Lectures delivered before the Forest School of Yale University. Inscribed by the author in October, 1915: "To Mrs M.B. Craig. Out on the firing line in Arizona. With the compliments of the author. W.T. Hornaday." May Belle Craig worked in the office of Arizona's State Game Warden. Another owner name front pastedown; a few spots in the text; moderate wear to the boards and joints; and the top corner of the front pictorial inlay is abraded/missing. Still very good, without dust jacket. An early volume on conservation: Teddy Roosevelt had established the U.S. Forest Service less than a decade earlier, in 1905, a watershed moment in the preservation of the country's natural resources and wilderness.
