Gringo Doctor; Foreword By Eugene Cunningham by Bush, I.J - 1939

Caldwell, ID: Caxton Printers, 1939. Octavo. 261 pages illustrated by James Wallis His accounts of his time with Francisco Madero are important as is his description of Villa. The Texas frontier and the turbulence of the era and the nightmare of stage coach travel barely improved with the early railroads. He covers West Texas with time in El Paso, hunting in Mexico, the Mexican mining camps, and finally the Mexican Revolution. The illustrations by James Wallace add great color to the remarkable writing of Dr. I.J. Bush who died one month after the books publication. One of the most fascinating accounts of the region in that era. Most copies of the book were read to death, this is a very good copy with some light soiling on the front cover. Bound in copper pictorial cloth lettered and decorated in a darker copper, pictorial endpapers.
