About This Item
New York: Lyons & Burford(1990), 1990. First edition. hardcover. A fine copy in cloth and boards in a nearly fine dust jacket. John Groth. Small 4to. An old Comanche named Starlight comes from Oklahoma to Texas with eight patriots and demands of old Tom Bird the largest of his buffalo, which the indians eventually kill, in less than graceful manner, and then head home. Such is the bare frame of this remarkable story, filled with remembranes of old raids, narrow escapes, days of intense confrontation and bold blood, now gone. "It is a classic in its idea," says A. C. Greene, "and an artistic masterwork in its fulfillment." The text is handsomely illustrated with drawings by the late John Groth. 59 pages.
