EDWARD WILSON

Publication: The McNeil Co, 1915, Phoenix

First edition. 12mo. Full leather binding, titles stamped in gilt on the front cover, decorated front and rear endpapers, [6], 7 - 77 [1] pp., preface. Edward Wilson's 1915 account of life in southeastern Arizona. The killing of the Wright men in 1882 and of H.H. Merrill in 1895, the Apache attack on Mariano Samaniego's freight wagons, the robbery of Army paymaster G.W. Wham in 1889, the tale of Gus Hickey's Indian fight, the story of train robbers Joe George and Grant Wheeler, and an account of the mysterious outlaw William "Black Jack" Christian, are among the many reminiscences of Wilson. Herd 2537 says "Rare." Six Guns 2417 says "Among other stories about early Arizona the author gives accounts of the Apache Kid; Grant Wheeler, the train robber; and a man called Black Jack --- evidently Black Jack Christian, for the author says he was not Tom Ketchum." This book was originally published in pictorial cloth but our copy has been rebound in full leather with decorated front and rear end papers with the contents clean and tight. An attractive copy of a rare book.
