Eleven years of research and 30,000 miles of travel are the props upon which the author built this story. Exciting tales of gun slingers are not always true tales, but this work blends both.

Seller's Description:
8vo. Yellow cloth with red lettering, dust jacket. xi, 236pp. Near fine/very good. Minor jacket edgewear, with spine typically sunned; ownership signature on front pastedown, with a Frederic Remington style "My Book" and brand-like symbol. First edition of this biography of the Rebel soldier, rancher and occasional gunfighter (1841-87). Supposedly printed in a small edition, this copy is (as are most copies) inscribed and signed by the author in black ballpoint on front flyleaf: "To / Leslie H. Geddes / Sincerely--F Stanley." "F. Stanley" was the nom-de-plume of the mysterious Father Stanley Crocchiola (1908-96), a Catholic priest in Texas whose passion for writing history led him to author a prolific number of Western histories--by one count 177, by another count 190. While some historians criticize him for factual errors, many others applaud his original research. SIX-GUNS 2093.
