LEAD AND LIKKER
1932. · New York
by White, Owen P.
New York, 1932.. 274pp. Original bright red cloth, title printed in black. Light shelf wear, otherwise clean. Very good. Lacking dust jacket. An action-packed "memoir" of the frontier days in El Paso, Texas.
"Contains chapters on many of the outlaws, from Henry Plummer, John Wesley Hardin, Ben Thompson, and Belle Starr to Chris Evans of California. Most of these chapters are unreliable, especially the one on Belle Starr. In this book, as in some of his others, the author says that Henry Brown was hanged by the Medicine Lodge mob. Brown was killed, first by being shot as he tried to escape, then being hanged with the others" - Adams. ADAMS SIX-GUNS 2382. (Inventory #: WRCAM4976)
