About This Item
Harper & Brothers, 1952. 1st Edition . Hardcover. Near Fine/Near Fine. Near fine copy in near fine dust jacket. First edition. Guns 2269: "Though the author makes several mistakes, this is still one of the best books on Dodge City. Most of its gunmen come in for some attention. Under the bottom illustration opposite page 21 the caption should read 'Civilian model' instead of 'Pavillion model.' The author told me that he had asked the publishers to make this correction. If the book is reprinted, this error will be a mark of identity of the first state." Herd 2406. Dobie p. 123. Walter Campbell p. 62; p. 196: "From the first camp of the buffalo hunters in 1872 to the end of the cattle trade, 1888. Much new matter. History and interpretation.
