Sobre este artículo
Los Angeles: Yarnell, Caystile and Mathes, 1881. First edition. Hardcover. Octavo: 457 p. Rebound in modern green cloth with gilt titles. The contents are crisp and clean. Some mild rubbing to the corners and tips. Zamorano Eighty 5.
Bell (1830-1918) was an incendiary attorney who was fond of the seamier side of life. This true account of his service with the Los Angeles Rangers, a sort of border police, rivals any dime-store western. The first book printed and bound in Los Angeles, it is particularly scarce because the type from the first half of the book was reportedly cannibalized for use in the second.
