1977125685Hicksville: Exposition Press 1977. v 150p. first edition cloth boards in dj. Mild lower edge shelfwear text edges faintly foxed the unclipped jacket is a bit soiled. Bears an inscription signed from Dixon. Protagonist 'Savage' a Comanche is a C.I.A. assassin being stalked by fellow assassins. Episodes seem competently visualized and are executed in competent prose. The sole notable detail here is that the second author find photoportraits of both guys on the dj is thoroughly the real thing. Charles Green joined in 1949 was "a senior intelligence duty officer to the Director under Dulles we may suppose and from 1962 to 1974 was the senior C.I.A. representative to the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the Secretary of Defense."

1931112417Garden City NY: Doubleday Doran & Company Inc 1931. First edition of Emmett Dalton's autobiography. Octavo original cloth with smoking gun vignette to the front panel pictorial endpapers frontispiece portrait of Emmett Dalton after a photograph taken in 1892. Signed by the author on the half-title page "Sincerely yours Emmett Dalton." Near fine in the rare original dust jacket with light rubbing. The Dalton brothers led one of the last gangs of horseback outlaws. Ironically three of them - Bob Grant and Emmett - started their careers as deputy marshals. They soon decided that more money could be made from horse rustling and in 1888 they organized a band that carried on a thriving trade. When they came under suspicion toward the end of 1890 the brothers went to California where on February 6 1891 at the small station of Aila they held up a Los Angeles-bound passenger train. The robbery failed when the baggage clerk excaped and the Daltons were unable to break into the safe. Grat was captured and sentenced to twenty years in prison but escaped from the train carrying him to Folsom. The gang resumed operations in Oklahoma where during the next two years they robbed three trains before turning to the more lucrative trade of bank robbery. Modeling their plans on the James brothers the Daltons struck the two banks at Coffeyville Kansas on October 5 1892 hoping as Bob said "to beat anything Jesse James ever did - rob two banks at once in broad daylight." However the identical fate that befell the James gang at Northfield Minnesota awaited the Daltons. Confronted with a large crowd of armed townsfolk the gang attempted to shoot its way to safety; in the battle Bob Gat and two other gang members were killed and Emmett was severely wounded and captured. It is the basis for the 1940 film directed by George Marshall and starring Randolph Scott Kay Francis and Brian Donlevy. Doubleday, Doran & Company, Inc hardcover books
