Description: HUNTING TRIPS IN THE CAUCASUS Rowland Ward. 1898 London, 1st edn, 319pp, many illus, fold-out map. Very good copy, although fading on the spine and is discolored because of shelf storage and light exposure. The map is fully intact yet fold is awkward and as seen there is a 3 inch tear One of the most sought-after books written on the tur, especially the Western, or Kuban tur. As in his other books, the Prince hunted for long periods of time and bagged many fine heads. In fact the trophies that he took then are still today among the biggest heads that ever came from the Caucasus. Also includes hunting for Caucasus wisent, stag, and bezoar ibex. The book consists of three separate narrative sections on trips taken by Prince Demidoff and Dr. Levik, his hunting companion. The first trip is to the Kuban district, the second trip is along the Persian-Russian frontier and the last trip is to the Kuban district once more, but further East than the first trip. Undoubtedly the scarcest of all three Demidoff's work.
