TOM HORN IN LIFE AND LEGEND
Norman: University of Oklahoma Press, 2014. First Edition. Hardcover. Signed by Larry D. Ball on a University of Oklahoma bookplate, which is laid in at the front. "Some of the legendary gunmen of the Old West were lawmen, but more, like Billy the Kid and Jesse James, were outlaws. Tom Horn (1860–1903) was both. Lawman, soldier, hired gunman, detective, outlaw, and assassin, this darkly enigmatic figure has fascinated Americans ever since his death by hanging the day before his forty-third birthday. In this masterful historical biography, Larry Ball, a distinguished historian of western lawmen and outlaws, presents the definitive account of Horn’s career." Octavo: xiii, [1, blank], 554 pp. with numerous figures and maps. Original paper-covered boards over a brown cloth spine with black-stamped titling. A fine copy in a fine dust jacket. Fine / Fine.
