This date coincides with the World's Fair held in San Antonio, Texas (HemisFair '68). Boyce House was a well known Texas author, and at least one of his books was reissued in a HemisFair edition. (This 1968 date would have been seven years after his death.) This copy is Signed by the author ''Best wishes, Boyce House.'' Includes two double sided black and white plates. Battle to regenerate Eastland County, Texas after oil rush crash of the early 1920's. Following is taken from the jacket blurb: ''It took a pistol as well as a typewriter for an editor in the West Texas oil fields to perform his duties back in the 1920's -- and Boyce House re-enacts the scene. While the events described took place in the early 1920's, when House was editor of the Eastland Daily Oil Belt News, his book flashes back to portray the frenzy of the world's biggest boom at Ranger and even goes back to the dramatic Cisco cyclone and to the semi-comical first bank robbery in Cisco before the turn of the century.'' Six-Guns, Number 1041. 8vo (about 8.5 inches tall) 142 pages. Index.
