Hardcover. Condizione: Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Fine. 1st Edition. Octavo, original red pictorial cloth, original dust jacket. First edition of Eisele's biography of the frontiersman, gunfighter, lawman and scout "Wild Bill" Hickok, with line engraved frontispiece portrait of Hickok, photographic portrait of the author, and ten wood-engraved illustrations, in the scarce original dust jacket."The event that brought Hickok both fame and notoriety and earned him his nickname was the killing of David McCanles at Rock Creek, Nebraska, in 1861 A dramatized recounting of McCanles's death written by George Ward Nichols appeared in an 1867 issue of Harper's Weekly. This story catapulted Wild Bill Hickok into the national limelight and made him the central figure of many dime novels" (ANB). Eisele's hagiography pushes Nichols' account even further into the fantastic, incorporating similar exaggerated accounts by J.W. Buel and Buffalo Bill in his 1879 Autobiography. Eisele's biography is nonetheless an entertaining account, and representative of 20th-century myth-making portraits of the "Old West" of the previous century. With "Collector's Edition" on copyright page, as called for by Adams. Adams, Six-Guns and Saddle Leather 668. Owner book label. Two black-and-white photographic prints of Colt's "Navy" revolver laid in (one mounted). Book clean and fine in the dust jacket with a small, closed tear to spine. A lovely copy. …

Good. Verso repairs to fold separations. Slight loss at some fold intersections. Closed margin tears professionally repaired on verso. Pinholing in corners. Spot of white out in Colorado. Size 23.75 x 35.25 Inches. This is a 1952 Robert Glaubke pictorial map of the United States highlighting buried treasure. Small red 'X's mark the spots where buried treasure is presumed to be hidden. Wealth amassed by Spanish priests, Caribbean pirates, frontier miners, and Old West bandits is said to be hidden away anywhere from Los Angeles to the the high plains and the deserts of the American Southwest. Each location is accompanied by a sentence or two discussing the treasure is said to be buried there and, if it is known, how much wealth (usually gold) is purportedly waiting to be unearthed by the lucky and intrepid. Vignettes decorate the map, many which are violent clashes between Indians and the original bearer of the buried treasure. Large portraits of a plains Indian, a desperado, a bandit, and a conquistador, among others, line the top of the map. The whole is surrounded by a decorative border filled with the iconography of the Old West and the heyday of Caribbean Piracy. Publication History and Census This map was drawn by Robert Glaubke and the information about the buried treasure was compiled and edited by Thomas Penfield. The map was published by Rand McNally in 1952. We note two examples cataloged in OCLC, at the Wisconsin Historical Society and the Bibliothèque nationale de France. A third example is part of the David Rumsey Map Collection. References: Rumsey 9527.000. OCLC 856903117, 494690020.…
