First Printing 1929. From the M.B. Goldstone collection--recently auctioned. Signed by William S. Hart on the front free endpaper and dated "1930". A near fine copy without dustjacket--minor edgewear, a little dustiness to page ends and mild age toning. Crease to the front endpaper. Otherwise a clean and unmarked copy. Front illustration is a portrait of the author by famed western illustrator and artist Charles M. Russell. Numerous other photographs of the author in film and on horseback. Hart was an actor, director and part time cowboy--who starred in many movies of the 20's and 30's including "Ben Hur". Hart was also a friend of Bat Masterson. A collectable copy without the frail DJ--but signed.
