Sobre este item
Topeka, KS: The Capper Publications, 1940 The Capper Publications, Topeka, KS. 1940. Hardcover. Stated 5th Printing. Book is tight, square, and unmarked. Book Condition: Very Good+; light bumping to head, tail, and tips. DJ: Very Good; NOT Price Clipped ($1.00); toning to spine; chipping to head; light wear to flap folds. Red cloth boards and spine with red lettering in gilt shadowbox on spine and front board. 287 pp 8vo. The stories contained in this book have been written at odd times and published in the Daily Capital of Topeka, KS. These are not short stories in the accepted definition of that term as denoting a brief tale of fictional character: but many of the sketches have the vivid interest that a good short story awakens. They deal with the rough life of border times and breathe the tense atmosphere of life on the frontier during the turbulent period when desperadoes and gunmen made life difficult for the peaceful settlers of Kansas. A clean presentable copy in a Brodart mylar jacket.
