Fine. Book First edition. Limited to 650 copies printed by Arlen and Clara Louise Philpott. Introduction by the Editor. Foreword by Oscar Lewis. 128pp. Frontis portrait, plates. Cloth-backed patterned boards, gilt-lettered spine. A very fine copy. A collection of stories and humorous sketches by one of the most talented journalists of the West. He was an early associate of Mark Twain who urged him to write his mining history, The Big Bonanza and thus preserve the history and legendry of the Comstock Lode. Dan De Quille also served as reporter and editor on the Virginia City Territorial Enterprise for more than thirty years and was a frequent contributor to The Overland Monthly and Golden Era in San Francisco. Rawls provides an introduction surveying the life of Dan De Quille, and in his brief foreword, Oscar Lewis tells of the discovery and identification of the manuscripts from which this volume is formed.
