Hardcover. Condición: Near Fine. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Near Fine. 1st Edition. Slight discoloration to pages. Slight wear along the DJ edges. Ernest L. Reedstrom (ilustrador). Inscribed by Author(s).

First Edition. "An official publication of the Nebraska Centennial. This is number 180 of a special edition of 250 copies SIGNED by the author". 8vo. x, 373 pp. Index. Illustrated by Ernest L. Reedstrom and with photographic plates and portraits throughout, map endpapers. Two original paper "Nebraska Centennial" blue promotional wrap-around bands laid in (one in fine condition, see image). Decorated tan cloth spine, rust paper covered boards in publisher's pictorial dustjacket. Housed in publisher's box with jacket image applied to top. A fine copy; minor rubbing to box corners else fine. A trade edition was also issued in pictorial cloth.

A rousing adventure in a fascinating history of the Great Plains from the Civil War until the 1880's. The book was supressed (and copies ordered destroyed) by the U.S. District Court, Southern District of New York, as a result of a suit by Alan Swallow (publisher of titles by Sage Books) which proved plagerism from Harry Christman's "Ladder of Rivers" published by Swallow. This copy is certainly from the few copies that were surrendered to Alan Swallow. How many copies Swallow had is not known. In any case, this is one of the best books on the constant fight of I. P. Olive and his cowboys in Texas and Nebraska and their fight with the homesteaders and the rustlers. It is "one of the most nearly complete histories of the feud between the Olives and Luther Mitchell and Ami Ketchum" (Adams). Also includes material on Doc Middleton, Jesse James, and Johnny Ringo.…
