Description: BOOK DESCRIPTION: 8vo, (ix), 277 pgs, index, illustrations, frontis. A label, signed by Dean Krakel, is attached to the front endpaper: "This is copy No. 9. Only eight other copies are similar and seven remain unsold at this date, 12 September 1956. It is unexpurgated and autographed by individuals intimately involved in the Life of Tom Horn. It can never be duplicated by the very nature of the signatures contained. Signed Dean Krakel". With an additional inscription by Krakel to a former owner. There are 7 Horn-related autographs included: Andrew Ross, F. Chatterton, Bill Carlisle (paper slip glued in), T. Joe Cahill, T. Blake Kennedy, Nettie LeFors (slip glued in), and Joe LeFors (clipped signature taped in). Former owner has stapled a contemporary book review and newspaper article to the reverse of the title page and dedication page. CON DITION DESCRIPTION: Fine; interior pages are largely uncut. Unclipped DJ is lightly rubbed, now in mylar sleeve. CONTENTS DESCRIPTION: Thomas Horn was an American scout, cowboy, soldier, range detective, and Pinkerton agent in the 19th-century and early 20th-century American Old West. He was also a hired killer. Convicted of the murder of a 14 year old boy, he died in prison, where he wrote his autobiography. Krakel here reviews his career. This book was subject to a law suit and Krakel was forced to make revisions, the so-called "Expurgated" version. This copy is the true first, without those changes. The autographs make this very rare, one of nine copies. REFERENCES: Herd 1287, Adams One-Fifty 92, Six-Guns 1256.
