Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. First edition. 114 p. Edited with an Introduction by Gary F. Kurutz. Embellished with twenty two contemporary illustrations of stagecoach scenes. First edition, limited to 350 copies. "When Major C. Truman (1835-1916), a Civil War correspondent and noted California Booster, first took the overland stage to the Golden State in 1866 he became fascinated by that daring breed of drivers he dubbed "Knights of the Lash." As he crisscrossed California and Nevada in elegant six-horse Concord coaches and utilitarian mud wagons, Major Truman recorded their exploits and adventures in ephemeral newspapers, long discontinued magazines, and out-of-print books. Gary Kurutz has gathered Truman's scattered stories, so flamboyantly told, that modern readers may enjoy the perils and excitement of a vanished mode of public travel." Prospectus laid in. Quarto. Original paper-covered boards over a blue cloth spine, with a printed paper title label on the front and gilt lettering along the spine. A near fine copy in the original mylar dust wrapper.
