THE LIFE, TIMES AND TREACHEROUS DEATH OF JESSE JAMES

Hardback. With an Intro' and Notes by Joseph Snell. Said to be an authentic reprint of the long suppressed 1882 edn. It was believed that the book was suppressed by Governor Crittenden following the author's intimation that he was behind the murder of Jesse James. James' wife and mother were said to have collaborated on the original work, but they refuted this - then sued the publisher for their share of the royalties! An exciting and hard-hitting account of the infamous outlaw, very well illustrated with photographs, drawings and paintings. Illus., Select Bibliog. and Index. 344pp. 8vo. h/back. With tiny label to fpd o/w F. in F. dw. designed by Irving Freeman.
