Publication: J B Lippincott Company, 1975, Philadelphia and New York
First edition. 8vo. Quarter cloth and boards, titles stamped in silver gilt on the spine, mustard-colored front and rear endpapers, xiv, 339 pp. Henry presents a fictional autobiography of legendary manhunter Tom Horn that answers decisively the question ... did Tom Horn kill fourteen-year-old Willie Nickell, or was he framed? Horn was a cavalry scout in Arizona Territory during the last Apache campaigns, a champion rodeo rider, a Pinkerton, and finally a stock detective in Wyoming. This book is the basis for the 1980 film directed by William Wiard and starred Steve McQueen in his penultimate screen appearance. Fine, bright copy in bright dust jacket that is lightly faded on the spine.
