1933DC1748NY: Huntington Press 1933. a rare copy with impeccable provenance from the collection of the distinguished Western American and United States Army historian Roy Edgar Appleman; immaculate tight textblock with top edge gilt; deckled fore edge; lightly worn Brick-Red cloth with gilt pony silhouette-over-black leather inlay on front cover; laid in is a typed/signed letter dated February 29 1944 from William Leigh to a then young Lt. Roy E. Appleman inviting him to stop by his Leigh's studio at 200 West 57th Street New York City to look at some of his paintings. Appleman had previously written Leigh about an exhibit that had closed and Leigh's very cordial response must have prompted Appleman to call on him sometime later probably in 1946; a hand-written notation on the front end paper by Appleman dated 2 Nov 1946 reads as follows: "Roy E. Appleman/ Mr Leigh told me the plates were in 16 color process made in Vienna. The publisher contracted or promised 1000 copies but only 500 of the book were manufactured. 2 Nov 1946"; Appleman's notation continues: "this book long out of print I obtained from Mr. Leigh at his home. He had only one other copy." Wright Howes' USiana bibliography states that only 100 copies were printed so this begs the question of who has their facts straight This copy does NOT have an additional signed color print laid-in however on the second front free end paper is the following ink notation in the author's hand as follows "W. R. Leigh / Arizona and New Mexico have provided me with / more thrills than any other spots on earth and / I have traveled around the globe. / W. R. L."; Howes L-242 Adams/Rampaging Herd 1325. .

Most Of First 48 Pages Were Neatly Broken Or Cut Off Near The Gutter Edge Then Re-Attached With Tape; Possibly They Were Bound In Incorrect Order And Then Re-Attached In Correct Order. In 1920 Clarence A. Black Sold The Covarrubias Adobe To John R. Southworth A Writer And Historian Who Had Lived In Mexico For 34 Years Before Moving To Santa Barbara Where He Opened An Antique And Curio Store In The Oreña Studios. Southworth Remodeled The Covarrubias By Cladding The Interior With Asbestos Wallboard And Redwood In A Gothic Style. Outside He Constructed A Wall Of Cement Around And Underneath The Old Walls Making A Cradle To Insure Its Survival For Another Hundred Years. Also In 1920 The Natural History Museum Was Under Pressure To Vacate Its Premises At 930 Anacapa Street So A Women'S Hotel The Margaret Baylor Inn Could Be Built. They Announced The Sale Of Their Adobe Building And Hundreds Of Old "Indian-Made" Roof Tiles. No Buyer Stepped Forward And The Native Daughters And The Native Sons Of The Golden West Advocated Demolishing The Old Adobe Which They Felt Had No Historic Significance. John Southworth Came To The Rescue Purchased The 1836 Malo Adobe And Laid Plans To Move It Next To The Covarrubias. "It Will Be The First Adobe In California To Be Moved Without Melting Away" He Said. By 1924 Its Resurrection Was Complete And It Rested Across From The Covarrubias Leaving A Charming Patio Between. For The Next 18 Years The Covarrubias And The Historic Adobe Were Alternately Leased In Whole Or Part By Southworth Who Periodically Lived There And Ran His Antique Business. Lessees Included Residents Who Ran A Tearoom Antique Dealers A Photographic Studio An Interior Decorating Business Shops And Art Gallery. In 1932 Mebane Beasley Opened A Vocal Studio At The Covarrubias. After A Recital The Reviewer Remarked "The Charm Of The Large Room Where The Recital Was Held Is Felt In Its Lighting Of Candles And Everywhere Are To Be Seen Delightful Old Paintings And Furniture While The Steinway Piano In Its Most Original Casing Is A Work Of Art." In Keeping With The Music Theme In 1935 Roger Clerbois A Founder Of The Community Arts Association Orchestra Leased The Covarrubias For His Mozart Society. In 1936 Southworth Tried To Rid Himself Of Both Adobes And Put Them Up For Auction. The Morning Press Report Was A Bit Wistful As It Stated "The Buildings Though Privately Owned Have Been Among The Principal Show Places Of Santa Barbara For Years And Have Been Regarded Almost In The Light Of Community Possessions." Back In 1931 The California State Chamber Of Commerce Had Marked Them As One Of 18 Points Of Historic Interest In Santa Barbara County. There Were No Takers At The Auction However And They Were Leased Out Again. Santa Barbarans Must Have Been Pleased When The New Business "Los Adobes" Advertised They Had Opened A Night Club With Dining Dancing And Cocktails. That August Eddie Valencia And His Beach Combers Entertained With Their Signature Big Band Sound Tinged With A Hawaiian Twang. Dancing Began At 8:30 Pm On A Newly Installed Dance Floor. In 1938 Southworth Was Finally Able To Sell The Adobes. Los Rancheros Visitadores Planned To Restore And Preserve Them As A Club Center Complete With Museum And Art Gallery. Leo Carrillo Direct Descendent Of The Pioneer Carrillo Family Became Head Of The Building Committee And Was Assisted By Architect Joseph Plunkett. They Replaced The Shingle Roof With Tile Restored The Adobe Walls While Adding Buttressing And Restored The Fountain In The Courtyard. They Named The Complex "Los Adobes De Rancheros" And Invited The Public To Visit.
