Tan printed wrappers, 89 pp. Six Guns 162 says "Very few copies of the original edition seem to exist; I have only seen two copies in all my years of collecting. It is said to have been written by a Dallas newspaper reporter named Morrison." Biographical sketch of Sam Bass with an emphasis on his time as a train robber. Sam Bass became a well known outlaw after he robbed the Union Pacific Gold Train in Nebraska. He was eventually hunted, double-crossed, and shot down in an ambush.
