LA: Skelton, 1926. First Edition. Soft cover. Good. 1st printing in wraps, published in February, 1926, in same year as the hardcover edition. Elaborately decorated front cover has as centerpiece "Geronimo - War Chief of the Apaches". He is on horseback. 215pp. Bottom corner of rear blank page has label of Churchill Book & Print Shop (with L.A. address & phone). Preface by Thos. H. Rynning is an informational 2pp bio of Sparks, known as "Timberline Bill". Next 2pp prints a letter from Arizona Gov. Hunt, affirming Sparks research & his work as a peace officer & mentioning his own role in trying to catch the Apache Kid. Also printed are commendation letters by John H. Lacy, M.D. & Dr. J. A. Lord, dentist. A good copy or better (heck, I think it is a vg copy) with relatively minor edgewear. Lower fore corners of covers each with an old crease; 1" split at bottom where spine joins front cover archivally closed. A touch of loss to extreme head/toe of backstrip. The hardbound copy is scarce enough, but this wrappers binding with the great cover is rare. 6-guns 2075.
