Denver: Louthan Book Company. Very Good-. 1904. First Edition. Softcover. A first edition (thus) of the autobiography of Tom Horn, the notorious figure from the Old West. He has been described as a "packer, scout, interpreter, Chief of Scouts, prospector, rodeo champion, deputy sheriff, hired gun, Pinkerton agent, cattle detective, and murderer." Horn was convicted of murdering a 14-year-old boy (some say unjustly) and hanged in Cheyenne, Wyoming in 1903. This memoir was written by Horn in jail while awaiting his sentence, possibly with assistance by others. Includes all of the original 13 plates. This softcover version was published at the same time as the cloth iteration (Adams, Six-Guns.1033; Rader 1931). --- A sewn softcover edition in stiff olive wraps, with cowboy silhouettes to cover; titling in orange. --- With moderate browning to leaves, dampstains to some leaves and to cover. ; 12mo (7 to 7-1/2 in. tall); 317 pages .

The pages are white, crisp and clear of any markings. "This is a history of the visual arts produced in the geographical area that now constitutes the United States. Such a book is difficult to title. A History of United States Art sounds awkward and logically might even be construed to exclude the arts of the colonial period. Thus, with apologies to our northern and southern neighbors, I use the title A History of American Art, knowing full well that the terms America and the United States are not synonymous...." - Preface from A History of American Art
