TOWNSHEND, F[rederick] Trench. Ten Thousand miles of travel, sport, and adventure. London: Hurst and Blackett, 1869. 1st ed. Frontis. of a buffalo hunt. xiv, 275pp. Very good in later cloth. Howes T-322. Phillips, p. 379. Athearn, p. 201. Graff 4175. Worried about falling in with a hostile tribe of Sioux or Arapahoes, the author's buffalo hunting party was relieved when generals Sherman and Sheridan allowed them to accompany a scouting party across the plains of Nebraska and Kansas. General Gibbon and Colonel Dodge took him hunting in Wyoming in October, 1868. The president of the Union Pacific Railroad Company presented him with a free ticket to the end of that line. "This is a good hunting story. The U.S. Army officers gave Townshend and his companion, C.P. Kendall, a good time on the plains and in the mountains." -- Graff.
