Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. Title: Calabazas: or, Amusing Recollections of an Arizona "City" Author: James Cabell Brown Publisher: Valleau & Peterson, San Francisco (1892) Rare 1892 First Edition: A Classic of Arizona Frontier Humor An exceptional opportunity to own the first edition of James Cabell Brown's viv…id and satirical account of life in the Arizona Territory. Highly sought after by collectors of Western Americana, Calabazas is more than just a humorous memoir; it is a foundational piece of frontier literature that captures the spirit, lawlessness, and eccentricities of early Arizona "cities." Condition & Features: Unique Attributes: This copy features the original paper cover bound-in, a detail highly prized by collectors as these delicate covers were often lost during professional rebinding. Illustrations: Richly adorned with original drawings by the author, adding a distinct visual charm to the narrative. Condition: Rated as Very Good. The binding is remarkably tight and secure, ensuring the longevity of the volume. Library Markings: Minimal and unobtrusive—features only a spine label and a small accession number on the title page. The text block remains clean and bright across all 251 pages. Bibliographic Pedigree: This work is a noted entry in the most prestigious bibliographies of the West: Adams, Six-Guns, 296 (Essential for outlaw and gunman history). Howes, B845 (The definitive guide to rare Americana). A clean, tight, and historically significant addition to any collection focusing on the Southwest, Arizona Territory, or 19th-century frontier life. [Store Location: 1.3]. James Cabell Brown (illustrator).
