(NY), Winchester Press, (1975). Reiger places the origins of the conservation movement not in the early 20th century, with politicians, engineers and geologists, but in 1871, with the publication of American Sportsman and the emerging code of the sportsman (particularly the hunter) that called for respect of wildlife and habitat. Inscribed by Reiger in the year of publication. Includes a 70-page "Picture Album of Sport Conservation," a pictorial history of the movement. Near fine in a very good, spine-tanned dust jacket that is internally tape-strengthened at the lower front flap fold and spine extremities. Uncommon, especially signed. [#036856] $350
