About This Item

N.p.: Amon Carter Museum of Western Art, 1968. Hardcover. Small 4to. Purple cloth, pictorial dust jacket. v, 67pp. Numerous illustrations (2 in color). Very good/good plus. Binding ever so slightly edgeworn; jacket has large chip at head of spine, small chip at foot of spine and chips along lower edge of front panel. A tight and fairly attractive first edition, with a unique autograph addition: Tipped to an inner flyleaf is a Typed Note Signed from Russell, 1p, 8" X 9½", Elmhurst, IL, 1956 July 21. Addressed to noted Lincoln and Civil War scholar Arnold Gates. Near fine. On letterhead of the "Standard Education Society," Russell discusses reviewing a book on Quantrill -- most likely for "Civil War Times," for which Gates was book review editor. "I took a somewat odd angle, for me, in the review," Russell notes. "If it doesn't hit you right, say so...." Large full signature. Autograph material from Civil War scholar Russell (1899-?) is seldom encountered.
