About This Item
Boston:: Little Brown,, 1930. . Hardcover first edition -. Very good in rust-colored cloth with orange and black lettering and decorations, no dust jacket. . First printing. A classic of Western Americana. Born among the outlaws of Robbers Roost, Sage turned to a life of crime. "He drifted along the cattle ranges from Mexico to Canada. Like Mr. James, he twisted 'bronks' and hunted wild horses. But whereas Mr. James's cattle-rustling escapade was minor and almost accidental, Mr. Sage devoted his full powers to the art, almost from boyhood. His autobiography is less sophisticated than Mr. James's: perhaps for that reason it is more compelling. It deals with the life of a man who spent his childhood among outlaws and his boyhood among the Utes, and whose life thereafter was mostly furtive and always violent. The myth crumbles, the true West shows through. The recital, couched always in the vivid language of campfires and corrals, has an extraordinary rapidity, terseness, and reality. Of this year's Westerns, 'The Last Rustler' is easily the best. (Bernard Devoto, Atlantic Monthly, Oct 1930) Foreword by Harvey Fergusson. Illustrated with drawings by Paul S. Clowes. 303 pp.
