A solid, presentable copy of the true first edition. The standard history of Tascosa, the Panhandle's most notorious frontier cow town. McCarty drew on the recollections of surviving Tascosa figures and on his own background as editor of the Dalhart Texan to assemble what remains the foundational treatment of the town's brief, violent flowering and its decline after the railroad bypassed it. Of particular interest for the LS, LIT, and XIT ranch material, the 1886 Tascosa gunfight, and the era's tensions between large outfits and small-pasture men.
