NICHOLL, Edith M. Observations of a Ranchwoman in New Mexico. London: Macmillan and Co., 1898. 1st ed. 271pp. Frontis., title vignette, plates. Orig. blindstamped pictorial cloth in custom cloth slipcase. Rear inner hinge starting, cracked internally, very light wear to lower spine end and corners, else a very good copy. HOWES N-140. Adams, Rampaging Herd, 1672. Adams, Six-Guns, 1610. Edith M. Lewis (1852-1938), an Englishwoman writing under her first married name Edith M. Nicholl, offers a memoir of her initial sojourns in the New Mexico territory as a farmer. The effort to write for a British audience is obvious in this scarce first edition (the American edition came three years later). Dykes says that "Nicholl" was a pseudonym for Edith M. Bowyer; more accurately, Bowyer was her second husband, whom she married in 1900 (she would have four husbands in total). Includes an account of that "all-too-marvellous youth," Billy the Kid. Dykes notes that the exaggerated stories she reports about Billy the Kid is evidence that "the tales about the Kid were pretty tall even back in the nineties." - Dykes, Billy the Kid, p. 31 (British edition).
