Pencil notation on rear free endpaper re brands. This is the first statehood brand book. The condition is common as these books were meant to be used in the field by the cattle inspectors. This book has probably seen the inside of a saddle bag, pocket of a slicker and wherever else it would be stashed while on the job.
As such, it is an artifact of the cattle trade as well as a book. Of the 5 or 6 I have handled in my career, all but 1 were in this condition. The contents are all present and while a few signatures jut out is still solidly bound and in VG- condition internally.
