Beschreibung

First edition. Oblong 8vo. Original stiff wrappers with embossed design and titles in gold gilt on the front cover, n. p. [256 pp.], introductory, profusely illustrated (mostly from photographs), portraits, advertisements. In addition to the many photographs of policemen/patrolmen there are excellent views of city hall, the court house, Anheuser-Busch Plant, District Police Stations, the Railroad Station, etc. Six Guns 2179 says: "Tells about the robbery of the Frisco train at Glendale, Missouri, and the final capture of Marion Hudgepeth, the leader of the gang. It also tells about the capture of Ben Kilpatrick and Laura Bullion, members of the Butch Cassidy gang." A copy of this book has eluded us for more than 65 years, and this is only the third copy we have ever seen. Rear cover has a closed tear to the top edge, chips to top edge and to lower edges, else the interior is clean, bright, and tight. Overall a very good item. A choice item and difficult to find.
