¶ Tall tales told by Breckenridge Elkins in a western bar; sort of if Dunsany's Jorkens showed up in the wild west. The first American edition of Howard's first published book, originally issued in London in 1936 by Herbert Jenkins and here photographically reproduced from the rare UK edition. This is also the very first (of many!) Robert E. Howard books issued by Donald M. Grant.
