12mo, 471pp. plus Section on Teaching The Deaf To Speak, plus publisher's ads; extra extra-silver stamping on top cover and spine, rear cover spotted at fore-edge and small chip missing from final leaf of ads, and paisley-ish endpaper; printed on cheap paper, with Ex Libris of Bill Ramsey on decorated flyleaf. "A cowboy autobiography preceded only by that of Siringo - Howes P500]. A work variously attributed to Post, Tex Bender, and Phil Johnson (hero of Part 1). "Probably the second book written about the cowboy and evidently made the publishers some money, although they were unscrupulous about authorship - RAMPAGING HERD 1819 (also 1181)." Whoever he was, as a cow man, he knew a lot about sheep, and traveling the Great Plains, and, of course, horses. HOWEVER, Wright's AMERICAN FICTION, no. 4352 states the first 358 pages are fiction, but that the section on the Plains is factual. Note: HERD states 14 or 18 plates. I count 34 plates, including the frontispiece and a view of Chicago's Union Stock Yards. Furthermore and notably, throughout there are colored sketches on many of the text pages, "ghostly" images with the texts. Some plates by C. S. Littlejohn.…
