Description

Norman & London: University of Oklahoma Press, 1989 A critical examination of 425 books published on Western Gunmen and Outlaws pointing out the errors and inconsistencies. Forward by William Savage. Ramon Adams was one of the foremost collectors and amateur historians of the West, taking particular delight in exposing the rumors, myths and falsehoods that so much of western lore is replete with. A special sore point always being those things that "aint so" but keep getting repeated over and over, long after having been disproved and the facts already known. This book is better than the Guiness Book for settling bar bets on darn near anything to do with the Desperadoes of the West. Softcover in Good Plus condition, has minor age toning of page edges and two inch waterstain mark on first 150 pages of bottom front corner that does not touch any of the text. No markings. . First Paperback Printing. Soft Cover. Good Plus/No Jacket. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
