Publication: Texas Tech University Press, 1997, Lubbock

Edited by James R. Gober and B. Byron Price. First edition. xxiii, 327 pp., half title page, dedication, contents, foreword, preface, acknowledgments, introduction, notes, appendix, index. "In 1980, James Gober inherited a discolored and aged bundle of papers that had once belonged to his grandfather, Jim RansIer Gober. To his surprise, he found they contained a rough, unedited autobiographical account of his grandfather's life as a Great Plains cowboy, lawman, detective, gambler, and saloon- keeper. Although Jim Gober was a relatively unknown Great Plains figure, his grandson believed his life story contributed significantly to the history of this region; with the assistance of B. Byron Price, a historian and executive director of the Buffalo Bill Historical Center, he edited and organized the narrative for publication." Page edges and tops of pages lightly soiled.
