First edition. 8vo. Original decorated red cloth, [6], 166 pp., frontispiece, [portrait]. A very scarce history of El Paso by the brother of General Anson Mills. Arriving in El Paso in 1858, the author has recorded an informal history of the daily events and politics in this violent frontier town. Six Guns 1505 says "Deals with gun battles and the bloody reign of the city marshals of El Paso." There is also an account of John Wesley Hardin's death. Very good, clean copy of a scarce Texas history.
