New York: G.P. Putnam's Sons, 1952. First Edition, First Printing. . Hardcover. Near Fine/Very Good. A collection of thirteen True Crime biographical sketches of four Civil War era women spies and nine female western outlaws from the 1870s to the end of the 19th century. The spies include Elizabeth Van Lew, the Union's principal spy in Richmond and Rose O'Neale Greenhow, a beautiful Confederate spy in Washington. Among the outlaws, there's Poker Alice, considered the toughest female gambler in the West; Calamity Jane, a tragic misfit who became a symbol for women who were able to hold their own on the frontier; Ella Watson, aka Cattle Kate, a rustler; Belle Starr, called the Bandit Queen of Texas, who became the first woman tried for a major crime in the courtroom of the legendary "Hanging Judge" Parker; and Pearl Hart, lady road agent, who planned and executed the West's last stage coach robbery. 336 pages, illustrated with black & white photos, including a bibliography and index. Text block edges show some yellowing due to aging, o/w boards and text are clean and unmarked, tight and square. The dustjacket shows chipping at the top of the spine, other minor edgewear, light age tanning, and the front flap is price-clipped. O/w dj is 98% whole, without tears or creasing or other significant damage. A collectable copy.
