Book First Edition Signed
Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. BOOK DESCRIPTION: Original pictorial printed wrappers; 12mo, 156 pgs. Presentation from the author's son (J. Marvin Hunter) on top of title-page. CONDITION DESCRIPTION: Original printed wrappers are lightly soiled, minor wear to edges, sop of spine chipped; else near VG-VG+. CONTENTS DESCRIPTION: John Warren Hunter was born in Rogersville, Alabama. When he was 10 years old, he and his family moved to Texas. Five years later, the Civil War broke out. While Hunter was only 15 years old, he was not old enough to enlist. However, after a group of Confederate soldiers hung one of his friends, he decided he could not fight for the Confederacy. He also would not fight against the South - he would escape conscription (dodging the draft) by securing a job as a teamster with a wagon train hauling cotton to Brownsville, where he crossed to Matamoros, Tamaulipas (Mexico), but the trip would not be an easy one. Escaping to Mexico would be fraught with constant dodging and harassment by the Home Guards, or Heel-Flies as they were known then (The insect, Heel-Flies, are also known at Cattle Grubs). This account of his harassment by the home guards on a trip to Columbus, Texas, early in 1864 is recorded in Heel-Fly Time in Texas, an autobiographical work first published by the Frontier Times in 1931. The author, with his son J. Marvin Hunter, founded and operated the Frontier Times, an important publisher of scarce Texas and Western history. This printing is not the 47-page stapled first edition, this re-set text was done the same year (1931); printed in single column, resulting in the expanded number of pages. It was again reprinted in 1936. Scarce in any edition. .REFERENCES: Rader #1989; in Howes; Not in Dornbusch; Not in Nevins; Not in Raines. Inscribed by Author(s).
