Hands up!: The History of a Crime (The Early West)

Facsimile Reprint. Limited to 1,000 copies, all edges gilt, leatherbound. Introduction by Wayne Gard. Index, adverts, 5 b/w illustrations. This first book written about Sam Bass was published in 1878, just months after the train robbery in Big Springs, Nebraska. Ramon Adams listed it as on of the 150 most important books and photocopied the one at the Library of Congress, perhaps the only copy in existence. This facsimile edition is made from Ramon's photocopy, with an introduction by Wayne Gard, author of the definitive Bass biography.
