The 334-page hardcover book has the title, author's name, and an image of a wagon train on the front cover in gold lettering. The short title and author's name are on the spine, but not in gold. The work is divided into twenty-four chapters detailing Whiting's life, with the last ten chapters concerning Whiting's years in Los Angeles and his business ventures, lately in the plumbing supplies line, and personal adventures. At the end is a selection of Whiting's poems. With cover edge and spine abrasions, dented corners, light cover soiling, fading of cover lettering, and general cover wear, the overall condition is good.Lexicon
