Navajo Canyon
|
Doubleday 1952
|
A Double D Western – Very Good book with light edge wear, touch of
slant at top of spine and slight page edge soiling and dusting, in a
Good jacket that has rubbing and soiling on the mostly white jacket,
edge wear, sun fade on spine and a small ½ x ¼ inch chip at top of
spine not affecting any lettering, some foxing on verso of jacket.
This copy inscribed – For Bondi De Toth - Sincerely Tom. This is
possibly an association to Andre De Toth who directed many B level
western movies (his most famous movie was based on The Cabinet of
Dr. Bondi) and this may have been a nickname, or one of his many
children. This is a historical novel involving the relocation of the
Navajo to eastern New Mexico and has Kit Carson as an important
character. Quite scarce title.

Boyer, Glenn G. |
I Married Wyatt Earp |
Longmeadow Press 1994 |
First edition 1st printing thus, the Longmeadow Press reprint of the
book originally published by University of Arizona Press. Subtitled
"The Recollections of Josephine Sarah Marcus Earp" and supposedly a
non-fiction account gathered and edited by Boyer. Now associated
with controversy, since the edited documents appear to have been
faked and thus this appears to be actually a fictional account. Book
and dust jacket are NF with minor edge wear and book appears unread.
