Publication: Acme Printing Co, 1928, Tucson

First Edition. Cloth, 293pp., Frontispiece. Numerous Illustrations. The author relates stories about many of the famous characters who spent time in and around Tombstone, Arizona.

"I have made an honest effort to obtain the real facts surrounding many of the old time gun-men, both good and bad, who practically dominated the destinies of Cochise and surrounding counties of Arizona and Grant County, New Mexido, back in the '80's." A very scarce work. Criticized by Ramon Adams for lack of accuracy in Adams, Burrs Under The Saddle,#7. Name & address of previous owner stamped on fore-edge of text block, and small circular stamp in upper corner of front pastedown, else internally clean and tight. Minor wear to spine ends and some slight soiling. A very good copy of a very scarce work.
