The Crittenden Memoirs.

CRITTENDEN, H.H. [COMPILED BY].

Publication: GP Putnam's Sons, 1936, New York

First edition. 8vo. Original brown cloth, gold stamping on front cover and spine, 542 pp., frontis., [portrait], preface, foreword, illustrated, folded geneology chart, index. Probably one of the best, if not the best, book on the James Brothers and their gang, with the information provided by former Missouri Governor, H. H. Crittenden. A large section of this book deals with the rounding up of the James Brothers and their gang, and outlawry in Missouri after the Civil War. Adams 150 #37 says, "A large portion of this book is devoted to the lives of the James brothers and the trial of Frank James. Governor Crittenden offered the reward which ultimately led to Jesse's death." Some light foxing to a few preliminary pages, else a near fine, tight copy of a book that is becoming scarce. ADAMS 150 37. SIX GUNS 513.
