Item description from seller

First edition. 12mo. Chromolithographic wrappers, [4], 128 pp., frontis. [portrait]. Printed on pulp paper. Six Guns 1263 says "This little volume has now become scarce and a collector's item. It is based upon the play by Walter Woods and Joseph Santley. Pulp fiction novel based on Joseph Santley's play Billy the Kid, concerning the exploits of outlaw Billy the Kid, set in New Mexico Territory during the Lincoln County War. Play Book Series No. 118. Halftone plates from photographs include a frontispiece portrait of the playwright Joseph Santley and scenes from an actual production of the play including a scene in a Lincoln saloon, an actual horse on stage, and Billy professing love to a gun-toting Nellie.

After an opening run in the New York Star Theatre in New York, beginning August 13, 1906, it enjoyed long runs at leading theatres throughout the country. The management claimed in 1913 that the play had already been witnessed by over six million people; probably the total reached ten million before the final curtain in 1918." Pages uniformly browned, light wear to the spine ends, else a very good copy. An outlaw rarity today.…
