Elephant Folio. Entire issue, May 29, 1902, newspaper style, light general wear-only, horizontal mailing crease all but gone, no tears or chips, no mailing label, small rust spots and holes at spine from staples, which have been neatly removed, leaving issue fully intact, but not attached, a very good copy overall, plus extract of later version of the story from Century Magazine, August, 1908, in which are noted several changes including the fact that it was much colder, there was a dog, the fire was doused by the snow falling from the tree bough, and (SPOILER ALERT!) the no-name man does not survive. In this earlier version, the man survives but with frostbite and a better understanding of the impersonal, unsympathetic attitude of the natural world toward mankind. The later version is widely known as among the author's most technically masterful and popular stories. Extract housed in protective mylar report cover.
