I’ve had this book for a few years and I cannot find any trace of it online. It’s called “The Trail: A collection of poems on the out-of-doors” by J. A. Hart 1932. It looks kind of homemade but also very professional. It’s printed like a book and has glossy pages with pictures of nature and poetic quotes under neath. The cover is thicker than a paper back but definitely not a hard back. It’s almost a cross between cardboard and leather? The cover is an engraved drawing of trees, hills, and the moon with “The Trail” on the bottom and it’s all traced with silver paint. All the poems are credited to their authors but the photos have no locations or dates and I cannot find any information whatsoever. Even if it is just some self published book or homemade collection I’d love to find out any information possible!
It may be a book of poems in the Cowboy tradition. It was probably privately produced.
This tradition also has a general art style. I love these works. You’re really lucky!

Cowboy poetry? I guess this is what comedian Andy Daly is making fun of with his Dalton Wilcox character.
I actually met a cowboy poet once and realized that Dalton Wilcox was a very restrained and buttoned-down homage to the genre by comparison.
