This edition is published by Naegele Printing Company in Helena, Montana, and is identified as a second printing. The book is notable for its illustrations by a group of artists, including the renowned Charles M. Russell and Shorty Shope, among others. The blend of poetry and humor captures a distinct voice, offering a glimpse into the author's whimsical perspective. Though the exact year of this printing is not provided, the book's charm lies in its artistic collaboration and regional flavor. The absence of a dust jacket and the hardcover binding suggest a focus on durability and presentation. This edition is a delightful find for collectors of regional literature and illustrated poetry.
