London: Oxford University Press, 1937. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good. viii, 348 pp + illustrations from photographs, with index, illustrated endpapers. Light shelf wear (including lightly bumped upper corners); text clean, binding sound. No dust jacket. Hatfield was born in Britain but decided to migrate to Australia at the age of 20, working his passage as a steward and landing at Port Adelaide in January 1912. "Hatfield soon became a first-rate bushman. For many years he worked in the north of South Australia, Central Australia, the Northern Territory and Queensland as a station-hand, stockman, drover, cook, horse-breaker, kangaroo-shooter, dingo-trapper, book-keeper, seaman, miner, fruit-picker, painter and timber-worker. In 1915 he attempted to join the Light Horse but was rejected because of injuries. Over the years he sympathetically studied Aboriginal languages and customs" (Dictionary of Australian Biography).

Philadelphia: Carey and Hart, 1849. First Edition. Hardcover. Good. pp. x, [13]-386, in publisher's blind-stamped brown cloth.

Extensive visits were made in Rio, Lima, California, the Gulf of California, and Mexico. Woods was traveling in central Mexico when the Mexican War began, and he escaped via Vera Cruz. The intelligence gathered by Wood in Mexico was instrumental to the U.S. seizure of California by Commodore Sloat in that war.
