256 pp., frontis, photographs. A near fine, tight, sharp cornered, strong hinged copy with minor shelf wear to its edges and no book plates or previous owner's names or markings. In a very good, unclipped dust jacket with chipping and soiling as photographed. SIGNED BY THE AUTHOR in Tombstone, Arizona on April 18, 1929 with no inscriptions. This special copy has the stamp, above the authors signature, of the Owl Drug Store in Tombstone. Breakenridge was known to sit, sign and sell his books in this establishment on Allen Street. Also, laid in are six real photographs of the Chandler Milk Ranch ruins, taken in 1970. The author describes his shoot-out there with Zwing Hunt and Billy Grounds on pages 180-186 in this book. On the morning of October 25, 1881 Frank and Tom McLaury and Ike and Billy Clanton had breakfast in this building. The next day, October 26, 1881, by mid afternoon the only one to be alive would be Ike. This is a classic book in the Earp/Tombstone collecting field. Rather one agrees with the author or not it is indisputable that he was there in Tombstone with the Earps and all the rest of the characters in that legendary saga.
