Book First Edition
Hard Back. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. Volume 44 Western Frontier Library. 318 Pages. This book is Volume 44 in The Western Frontier Library and is the third Rhodes novel to be reissued by the University of Oklahoma Press. Beautiful brown boards with gold lettering over black background on the spine. Book is brand new condition. Interior text pages are near flawless. The dust jacket has light wear to the front and the flap price is clipped. Eugene Manlove Rhodes was a westerner snowed in for twenty years among God's Frozen People, in Apalachin, a hamlet in New York State. During this period of exile from his beloved Southwest, he produced the best and major portion of his literary work, including Copper Streak Trail. This novel has two settings-Cobre, Arizona, and Vesper, a city in the East. The local color and characters in both places come straight from the author's experience. Pete Johnson, the hero of the story, was in real life a wagon boss for the Bar W Ranch. His unlimited, prankish wit and Sherlock Holmesian mind make the story what a London Times reviewer called Wild West fiction with a difference. The plot nevertheless has all the elements of the classic suspense western-a copper mine whose location the good guys try to keep from the bad guys, a villain who rules the town with money and power unscrupulously acquired, and even a crooked poker game. Rhodes scrutinized life without panic, writes W. H. Hutchinson in the introduction, with guts and a sense of humor and an awareness of Luck; and he learned to accept life's rhythms. His lifeview is reflected clearly in the two strongest characters in Copper Streak Trail-Johnson and Robetteelee Carr, a young boy who, the reader senses, will grow up to be the kind of brilliant, courageous, humorous man Johnson is. If you don't want that horse, said Bobby, don't send me after him.

Book
Trade Paperback. Condition: Good. Koerner, W. H. D. (illustrator). Third Printing. 128 Pages. A 1 1/4 inch bottom corner crease. Taking his title, Pasó Por Aquí, from Juan de Oñate's carving in the living rock of El Morro, New Mexico, Eugene Manlove Rhodes created his own memorial to the decent people of his world who had passed this way without fanfare. Rhodes wrote about them with wit, gusto, and tenderness, with honesty, clarity, and a sureness of interpretation as yet unequaled. He captured for all time the free, lonely, self-reliant, skilled, eternally optimistic essence of his West. Rhodes himself rode a brindle steer, fleeing from an irate sheriff, as his story hero McEwen does, and Rhodes made seven miles on his bovine mount before the beast sulled on him. Rhodes was also a volunteer nurse in a diphtheria pest house when El Garrotillo (the strangler) was the most feared disease in the isolated West. Pat Garrett appears here under his own name and in a favorable light Rhodes's way of rebutting what he considered unfair disparagement of Garrett by other writers. The story was filmed in 1948 as Four Faces West, starring Joel McCrea in the lead and Charles Bickford as Pat Garrett. Eugene Manlove Rhodes was one of the great writers of the Western, and this is his most anthologized story. Students of western history and American literature, and everyone who loves tales of the Old West will enjoy this Rhodes classic.

Book First Edition
Soft cover. Condition: New. First Edition, First Printing. BRAND NEW & Collectible. First Edition, First Printing. Western fiction. Anthology that brings together works of Eugene Manlove Rhodes (1869 - 1934), nicknamed the "cowboy chronicler" for fidelity to subject, whose work was mostly first published in newspapers and magazines. This collection includes 4 novels (led by Paso por Aqui, a story of a down-on-the-luck cowboy turned bank robber; adapted to film, Four Faces West, 1948, Joel McCrea); 2 novelettes; 4 short stories; a prose narrative; an essay; and, a poem. To the rear is the Epitaph Rhodes wrote for himself and speaks volumes of his personal philosophy: "Now hushed at last the murmur of his mirth/Here he lies quiet in the quiet earth/---When the last trumpet sounds of land and sea/He will arise then, chatting cheerfully/And, blandly interrupting Gabriel/He will go sauntering down the road to hell/He will pause loitering the infernal gate/Advising Satan on affairs of state/Complaining loudy that the roads are bad/and bragging what a jolly grave he had!" His gravestone reads, "Paso por aqui.".

Limited Edition. Octavo. . 78 pages. Signed by W.H. Hutchinson and numbered 329 in a limited edition of 500 copies. Drawings by James Bodrero. Originally, this was part of a series in the Saturday Evening Post began on August 13, 1910. Although violence had already been introduced to the American reading public in Wister's The Virginian, Rhodes used it here in the plot. He had known Butch Cassidy, Sam Ketchum, Cole Railston and he new the code firsthand which often made law enforcement and outlaws almost indistinguishable. He could bring in humor since he said the pioneer without it either died young or bought a trunk. W.H. Hutchison had gathered his stories in 1956 but this one deals with Dundee, New Mexico in 1881. Don Kennedy faces down bully Adam Sleiter and is framed for felonies, but when Apaches strike, outcasts become heroes. He writes, it was the year 1881 President Garfield was assassinated, the Lincoln County War was dyng down. It is into this context that he begins one of the great stories of the Southwest centered in Dundee. Bound in tan pictorial paper wraps lettered and decorated in dark brown, some spotting to front panel, chipping along upper edge of yapped edges along with off-setting to upper and lower edges.
