About This Item
[Vega, TX: Privately published, 1923]. First Edition. Octavo (20cm). Pictorial red cloth hardcover; 266pp, seven unnumbered leaves of plates. Tight, square copy, gilt slightly faded on spine and cover; solidly VG.
A flawed and sensationalized account of the Missouri pro-slavery terrorist and his band of raiders, including much on the Jameses and Youngers. Quoting Adams: "Somehow one loses confidence in a biographer who does not know how to spell his subject's name correctly." SIX GUNS 323.
