New York: G.P. Putnam's Sons, 1926. Hardcover. Small 4to. Green cloth with gilt lettering. xxiv, 375pp. Top edge gilt. Tissue-guarded frontispiece, illustrations, maps, pictorial endpapers.Very good to near fine. Small ownership signature on front flyleaf and several ownership inkstamps and blind-embossed ownership imprints on front/rear preliminary leaves; slightly delicate rear inner hinge archivally strengthened, thus tight. A tight, attractive second printing -- with choice autograph addition: Tipped on the frontispiece verso is a Typed Note Signed from Andrews, 1p, 8½" X 11", New York, NY, 7 February 1940. Addressed to Arnold F. Gates (1914-93, noted Lincoln/Civil War scholar). Very good. On "The American Museum of Natural History" letterhead, the explorer thanks the admirer "for your nice note. I have reached the point where I wish I didn't have any more birthdays. However, I am afraid that can't be helped." Bold full signature in black ink. Andrews (1884-1960) was undeniably one of the models for "Indiana Jones," a Wisconsin-born explorer and naturalist who gained fame through his books chronicling far-ranging expeditions (which also made significant fossil and bone discoveries) such as "Whale Hunting with Gun and Camera" (1916), "Camps and Trails in China" (1918), "Across Mongolian Plains" (1921) and many others; he served as president of the noted Explorers Club (1931-34) and in 1934 was named director of the American Museum of Natural History in New York.
