- Lot Description
Included in this lot is a Vintage Western Americana Book Collection (5), circa 1949 to 1954. Vintage Western Americana novels span a wide range of styles, from the gritty realism of 19th-century accounts to the stylized action of mid-20th-century pulp fiction. The first book is "Bad Company" by Joseph Henry Jackson, 1949. The book is a historical biography of California's most notorious outlaws during the mid-to-late 19th century. Jackson traces the growth of outlaw legends from the 1850s to the 1880s, often separating fact from folklore. The second book is "The Wonderful Couuntry" by Tom Lea, 1952. This Western novel by Tom Lea about Martin Brady, a man caught between the U.S. and Mexico after fleeing to Mexico as a youth for killing his father's murderer. The story follows his return to Texas, where he becomes a gunslinger for a Mexican warlord, navigates love and conflict, and struggles with his identity as he searches for a place to belong in the borderlands. The book is known for its vivid descriptions of the Southwest and its exploration of honor, redemption, and the frontier spirit. The third book is "The Comancheros" by Paul I. Wellman, 1952. Western novel by Paul I. Wellman about a Texas Ranger who teams up with a gambler to take down a group of renegade arms dealers who trade with the Comanches, leading to a story of adventure, violence, and the conflict between settlers and Native Americans in the American West. The book was adapted into a famous 1961 film starring John Wayne. The fourth book, "The Land of Beginning Again" by Julien Hyer, 1952. Hyer explores the river's path from northwest Texas to the Gulf of Mexico, describing the local landscape, ranch life, oil wells, and historical events. It features numerous prints by the well-known Texas artist Merritt Mauzey, depicting icons of the region like longhorns and jackrabbits. The last book is "Buckskin and Satin, The Life of Texas Jack and His Wife" by Herschel C. Logan, 1954. It documents the life of J.B. "Texas Jack" Omohundro, a prominent figure of the American Old West, and his wife, the famous Italian ballerina Giuseppina Morlacchi. Texas Jack Omohundro was a Confederate scout, trail driver, buffalo hunter, and guide. He is best known for his partnership with Buffalo Bill Cody in early Wild West shows. Giuseppina Morlacchi was a premier danseuse who introduced the "can-can" to American audiences and married Omohundro in 1873 after they met while performing together. The book is noted for providing one of the first dedicated historical accounts of Omohundro, who was often overshadowed by contemporaries like Wild Bill Hickok and Buffalo Bill. The condition of this collection of western books is well preserved with some wear to the outside covers, age tanning to the pages consistent with age. Respective measurements are 6"W x 8.75"L x 1.25"D, 5.625"W x 8.5"L x 1"D, 5.625"W x 8.5"L x 1.125"D, 5.5"W x 8.5"L x 1.625"D, and, 6"W x 8.875"L x 1"D. Collective weight is 6lb, 2oz.
