About This Item
Los Angeles: Grafton Publishing Corporation, 1918. First Edition. Card Covers. Fine. First Printing of these six accounts of the Old Southwest. Thick foolscap 8vo (178 x 123mm): 134pp, with portrait frontispiece and eight further illustrations from half-tones. Publisher's pictorial card covers printed in pale blue and brown. An exemplary example (barely noticeable damp spot to foot of first few leaves), tightly bound and clean throughout. Descriptions of a culture and a way of life that were passing out of view, recording the author's experiences and providing information on people and events. Covers the hunting of buffalo and antelope, conflicts with Native Americans, cattle drives (New Mexico to Kansas City), ranching, and cowboys and their ponies, with details handed down by the author's father. William Perry Sanders was born in Texas and moved with his family to Magdalena (Socorro County), New Mexico, sometime around 1890. After about twenty-five years in New Mexico he moved to Southern California, where this book of reminiscences was published. The title is drawn from Longfellow. N. B.
