1924 Hardcover Book, Roping Lions in the Grand Canyon, Zane Grey, Non-Fiction, Western, Illustrated

A 1924 second printing of Roping Lions in the Grand Canyon by Zane Grey. The book has orange cloth cover boards, front has title and image of a mountain lion on a rock in black. The spine has the title in black and the image of a cat's head.

A true story of Zane Grey's experiences capturing mountain lions alive, which makes ordinary hunting with guns seem, in contrast, about as exciting as a Sunday picnic. Everyone has heard of roping cattle and wild horses, but roping mountain lions on their home ground is another matter. Zane Grey, with four Western rangers, a Navajo Indian, and a pack of very lovable dogs (who are as much real individuals as their masters) set off on this adventure hunting with camera and lasso. Often funny, sometimes nearly tragic, always wildly exciting, the account of how they captured six of the tawny, fiery-eyed demons which infest the bottom of the Grand Canyon, and got them into camp alive and growling, will enthrall everyone who likes an unusual yarn full of courage and thrilling action.
