Pages lightly toned with age but otherwise unmarked. Deckle (uncut) edges. Magenta endpapers. Connelley's biography of James Butler Hickok (1837-1876), the Union scout, plainsman, and frontier marshal whose legend had multiplied through Nichols' 1867 Harper's Magazine article and Buel's later embellishments. Connelley, Secretary of the Kansas State Historical Society, spent more than four decades gathering testimony from contemporaries and locating original sources; he died in 1930 before completing the manuscript, which was finished by his daughter Edith Connelley Clift with an introduction by Charles Moreau Harger of Abilene. The book traces Hickok's family origins, his Civil War service as a Union scout in Missouri and at Pea Ridge, his postwar marshalships at Hays and Abilene, his time on the touring stage, and his death at the hands of Jack McCall in Deadwood. Cited in Adams One-Fifty (33), Howes (C-690), Six-Guns (480), and Graff (852).
