In good condition, moderate bumping to spine ends and corners, minor
cover staining, front hinge is beginning to separate, pages are toning,
text is clear and clean. This is a 1923 printing of the extremely rare
1894 book written by Asa Shinn Mercer. Even this 1923 edition is scarce.
This is the story of the Johnson County, Wyoming, war pitting the
settlers (rustlers) against the cattle barons of the day. A S Mercer was
not originally on the side of the settlers, but he felt compelled to
write the story (Banditti of the Plains, sub-titled The Crowning Infamy
of the Ages) to tell of the tactics used by the cattle barons. Most of
the original edition was destroyed under mysterious circumstances.
