Much on Indian depredations, Texas Rangers, biographical sketches of prominent and early residents, outlaws and lawmen, ranching, etc. Six Guns 1035 says, "Scarce." "This little book, which contains some material on Sam Bass and his gang, is quite rare because most of the edition was burned. It tells of Joe Horner's battle with Negro soldiers before he left Texas and assumed the name Frank Canton." Herd 1069 says, "This little book is quite scarce because most of the edition was burned. It contains some material on certain notable Texas cattlemen." A very good copy in nice condition.
