About this Item

Bound in full leather with the original slipcase. Both book and case are near fine. Limited to 99 copies and signed and inscribed by Boyer. First edition thus. In 1981 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Shoot-Out At The OK Corral in Tombstone, Arizona, this limited edition was published by Glenn Boyer. The ninety-nine copies sold out immediately with many collectors paying in advance for their copy. It is known as the Flood Manuscript, written by Earp confidant John H. Flood from interviews with his friend Wyatt Earp in 1926 and 1927. Flood, it is obvious, was not a very good writer but what he wrote is certainly a valuable contribution to the genre. The book was intended as a lecture series to be given at the Arizona Pioneers' Historical Society in Tucson. The lectures were never given. Indispensable work as it represents Earp's first hand dictations.
