About this Item

Five smart first edition Western novels from American authors such as Forrester Blake, Walter O'Meara, Cothburn O'Neal, Evan S. Connell Jr., and Stephen Bransford. Five volumes. First edition. This set contains: Johnny Christmas, 1948. Johnny Christmas was only twenty when Sam Houston's Texans smashed the Mexican armies of Santa Ana. But now he was a grown man with a roan horse and a Hawken rifle ready to fight his way across the wide, untamed frontier. Written by Forrester Blake, an American author. The Grand Portage, 1951. Daniel Harmon left his native Vermont at the age of twenty-two to seek his fortune in the fur country. He carried with him the strict Puritanical scruples of his forbears, which would soon be lost to him as he came up against life in the lonely and savage country. Written by Walter O'Meara, an American writer. Untold Glory, 1957. A moving and dramatic story of Felicia Lee Carey Thornton Shover, an untold heroine of the Confederacy whose valiant service has never before been disclosed. Written by Cothburn O'Neal, an American author. The Patriot, 1960. The story of Melvin Isaacs, a seventeen-year-old boy, and his experiences in naval aviation school during the Second World War. Melvin must face the terrifying reality of training and the likelihood of his "washing out" (failing).

A review copy with the publisher's original notice. In 1783, the youthful heir to an American fortune hounds a circuit rider deep into the wilds of Kentucky.

Externally, very smart with minor wear and light fading to the extremities. Original unclipped dust wrappers are smart with light wear and minor chipping to the extremities.
