About this Item
[6],260pp. Original green cloth. Some bleach spots on covers, binding a bit cocked. Title- leaf mounted on silk. Overall a good copy. First American edition, after the first British edition printed in London in 1898. A scarce account of an Englishwoman's quest for good health and happiness raising alfalfa and other crops in southern New Mexico. Includes chapters on "the Mexican in New Mexico," the climate and soil, irrigation, mineral resources, and "Politics and Sectionalism." Interestingly, there is also an account of the story, obtained from the author's friends, of that "all-too-marvellous youth," Billy the Kid. Dykes claims that "Nicholl" was a pseudonym for Edith M. Bowyer, and notes that the exaggerated stories she reports about Billy the Kid is evidence that "the tales about the Kid were pretty tall even back in the nineties." DYKES, BILLY THE KID 31 (British ed). HOWES N140. ADAMS SIX-GUNS 1610. ADAMS HERD 1672. Seller Inventory # WRCAM22767
