Octavo. Original yellow cloth binding, with black titles. First edition.

A thrilling tale of “Indians, cowboys, hidden treasure, troopers, mustangs, guns, love, and life and death” set in the Big Horn country during the 1870s. Stage actor turned Hollywood star, William S. Hart (1864-1946) was for movie fans a cherished symbol of the romantic Old West. His silent westerns offered excitement, lessons in righteous behavior, and a nostalgic vision of the American frontier. This copy is inscribed by Hart to noted Western artist Clarence Ellsworth on the front flyleaf.
