About This Item
Chicago, M. A. Donohue, 1914. 1st Edition . Hardcover. Near Fine. Red cloth, a near fine unread copy. First edition. Adams One Fifty 25. Guns 365: This privately printed book was written in a humorous vein, and contains some material on the Dodge City gunmen and Billy the Kid. Like one or two other writers, the author says that the Kid had killed twenty three men when he was himself killed at the age of twenty three. He also says that the Kid worked on a ranch owned by Jesse James, Cole Younger, and three more of their gang and that the Kid stole some cattle from them, whereupon they chased his gang of rustlers and killed all of them except Billy and one other. I corresponded with this old-timer before his death and bought all the remaining copies of his book. It was a very scarce item until I began releasing the remainder, and it is still scarce. Herd 398. Graff 553. Howes C74a.
