New York, NY, USA.: Dell First Edition, 1955. Book. Illus. by George Gross Painted Cover Art.. As New. Soft cover. PBO (Paperback Original) True First Ed.. 190 pages "'Oh gather round, ye teamster men And listen unto me, Whilst I sing of old Comanche John, The fastest gun thar be; He robs the coach, he robs the bank, He robs the Union mail, And he's left his private graveyards All along the Bannack Trail.' This was only one verse of the ballad they sang about the wandering road agent who called himself Comanche John. And new verses were sure to be added after John found himself sadled with the job of riding herd on a train of emigrant sodbusters headed for the White Pine grant. Spotting the gun-hung crew of frontier toughs riding along with the train, John knew his own twin Navy Colts weren't going to gather any rust in their holsters ." *** This book is part of an Original Owner Collection, of 2000+ Mass Market Paperbacks.
