Beschreibung
Beschreibung:
Major Bell (1830-1918) was an incendiary attorney who was fond of the seamier side of life. This true account of his service with the Los Angeles Rangers, a sort of border police, rivals any dime-store western. The first book printed and bound in Los Angeles, it is particularly scarce because the type from the first half of the book was reportedly cannibalized for use in the second. Octavo: 457, [1, blank] pp. Bound in a variety of colored cloths (no priority), this is the green issue. Small ink initials stamp to dedication page and the title page, respectively, with small handwritten initials to the top edge. The binding has been expertly rebacked with the original cloth laid down and new endpapers. Some general shelfwear, more so at the corner. The Zamorano Eighty 5. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 79976
