Early Days Of A Cowboy On The Pecos.

JAMES F. HINKLE

Publication: Privately printed, 1937, Roswell

First edition. Printed wrappers, 35 pp., 7 illustrations. "The experiences of a New Mexico cowboy, written by a man who later became governor of the state. A very rare book, it is said to have been issued in an edition of only 35 copies."---Ramon Adams. "One of the rarest of all pamphlets on ranching....Hinkle was for a time Governor of New Mexico (1923-25), and was long a prominent rancher in southwestern New Mexico. Although brief, this little pamphlet conveys the flavor of the range with great flair."---Bill Reese. Light, general, dusty-soiling, very slight bump to upper fore-corner, and a tiny quarter-inch chip to top edge of rear wrapper. Very good-near fine.
