JOHN [JACK] I. LASHWAY : 1966 ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT DIARY, PHOTO ALBUM AND SCRAPBOOK OF TWO [2] BIG GAME HUNTING TRIPS BY A WILDLIFE ARTIST STALKING MOOSE AND CARIBOU IN CANADA AND ANTELOPE IN WYOMING

Folio - over 12" - 15" tall. On offer is a substantial, original fascinating 80 page photo album, diary and scrapbook of John I. Lashway sometimes Jack, a Pleasant Valley New York hunter who extensively details a pair of disparate trips in 1966: caribou and moose in Newfoundland Canada and antelope in Wyoming. [BIO NOTE: Research suggests that this is almost undoubtedly Jack Lashway a noted wildlife artist.] The trip to Newfoundland, about 60% [58 pages] of the very large 14 x 11 x 2.5 inch album, mostly in the Cornerbrook area hosted by Bill Newell Guide and Outfitters [whose services he is quite enamored of], is the more detailed trip as the photos are almost all original and Jack has written 20+ pages in a diary like manner as if to be readied for publication. The Wyoming trip, about 32 pages, has postcards rather than original photos and no manuscript narrative. Filled with 80 or so black and white photos, some missing as evidenced by empty corner mounts, 60+ postcards and quite a few ephemeral items such as non-resident hunting licenses and tags, hunting regulation booklets, brochures, maps, letters from the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador Department of Mines, Agriculture and Resources about obtaining hunting permits plus many handwritten pages of his recalled accounts and details of his road trip. He writes a very detailed account his daily activities including mileage, places he stayed (hotels, motels, camps), people he met along and problems he had along the way making for very interesting reading. Most of the brochures and booklets have been tipped in. Overall VG.. Manuscript. Book Condition: Good+
