Minneapolis: Ross & Haines, Inc., 1964. Reprint of 1964. Fine in light brown cloth covered boards with dark brown text on the spine. In a fine unclipped dust jacket. Originally published in March of 1865 in a paperbound format under two imprints. One from Chicago and the other from New York. Copies of this work are exceedingly scarce and presently only three copies are known to exist. Ramon Adams in his bibliography Six-Guns and Saddle Leather states: "No one seems knows the author of this book, but many think it was written by John Lyle Campbell, a reporter for the Chicago Tribune, who had earlier written a guidebook to the gold fields and had it published in Chicago and New York just as this book was published." This is the first time the original work was reprinted with valuable notes and bibliography by Jerome Peltier. (Adams, 6-Guns 131; Howes I-1) (Inventory #: TB19135)
