"A thorough study of the trial and execution of Tom Horn. Tom Horn was famous as a scout against the Apaches, fought in Arizona's Pleasant Valley War and was a Pinkerton detective before he allegedly became a hired killer of rustlers and homesteaders for the big cattlemen of Wyoming."A threatened law suit required the author and publisher to rewrite and replace seven pages of illustrations, and text after the volume had been printed and bound, but before it was released. These changes were made by cutting out the deletions and tipping/laying in new sheets. The text pages of 13 and 54 were changed as well as several of the illustrations." Laid into this copy are two corrected/facsimile, simultaneous pages 53/54. The glue-in on this section is loose.
