By Peter McIntyre

This large and unusually sized book features Peter McIntyre, a masterful New Zealand artist who was commissioned by Sunset editors to tour the West and record his impressions through paintings, drawings, and commentary.

An outstanding job was done in capturing the refreshing and magnificent views of thousands of miles of what is termed "the most incredible area on the surface of the earth."

The book contains 56 of McIntyre's paintings which have been reproduced in six-colors rather than the usually standard four-color method of reproduction.

For persons who have an interest in the American West, Peter McIntyre gives an unbiased and unhampered view of the wonders that fill this vast area.

This is a book that would enhance the library of anyone who has a true love for the great American West.

He explores the habits, habitats, and methods of hunting a wide variety of game: rabbits, squirrels, doves and pigeons, wild turkey, pheasant, woodcock, quail, grouse, partridge, waterfowl, and year-round legal game such as woodchucks, foxes, coyotes, bobcats, crows and racoons. For the big-game hunter there are deer, elk, moose, caribou, antelope, wild cattle, cougar, wild boar, peccary, Rocky Mountain Goat, Bighorn, Dall, Stone and Fannin sheep, and the North American bear family.
