Thank you for writing. Most sincerely yours, SEW:M". White (1873-1901, born in Grand Rapids, Michigan) was an American author and conservationist known for his adventure and metaphysical books. The son of a lumberman and outdoorsman, White studied philosophy at the University of Michigan and worked as a lumberjack and a cowboy and was a gold prospector in the Black Hills of South Dakota. He published a number of books between 1901 and 1947, many of which were motivational works inspired by his own adventures. His most famous book is probably The Blazed Trail (1902), a muckraking book about the lumber trade. He later published books on mysticism, including The Betty Book (1937) and The Unobstructed Universe (1940), the second about his communication with his dead wife Betty. Lightly toned and creased. Three dents along left edge. Folded once horizontally and twice vertically and unfolded. Otherwise in fine condition.
