A BOOK YOU HAVE WAITED FOR
The greatest aggregation of Outlaws, Desperadoes,'
Frontier Characters, and Texas Rangers ever assembled
within the covers of one book—nearly 400 of them.
Splendid photographs with a sketch of each individual.
The story of men. good and bad, who made the -Old
West Glamorous and hectic. You have read or heard
about Wild Bill Hickok. Jesse and Frank James, the
Dalton Boys. Cole. Bob and Jim Younger, Bill Doolin,
Calamity Jane, Belle Starr. Sam Bass, Bill Longley.
John Wesley Hardin, Wyatt Karp. Bat Masterson. Doc
Holliday, Billy the Kid—they’re all here, with many
others, in this beautiful, well bound book which was
designed by Warren Hunter, the outstanding Western
artist. s
“After reading my copy of your book. The Album of
Gunfighters. from cover to cover last night. 1 could not re-
frain from dropping you this* line to commend you on a fine
job. Such a book as yours ha- been needed for a long time.
] am glad that the need was filled with one representing such
high scholarship and conscientious attention to every detail.
Although. I have been more or less a student of these gun-
fighting Americans for a long time, I learned many things
I never knew before from your book. And your pictures are
wonderful. In the February, 1951. issue of Esquire you may
have seen my article on Clay Allison. I looked high and
low for a picture of him and was told not one was in existence.
But you have one. He looks just as I presumed he would.
In one place you ask a question .about whether a certain
picture is one of Billy the Kid. 1 doubt it. don’t you? Billy
was an adenoildal moron, but the picture you reproduced
shows a normal, intelligent boy. Good luck to your book.
1 hope your sales reach 100,000.”—Charles B. Roth, Arvada,
Colorado.
“I think your ‘Gunfighter*’ a good companion for Jack-
son’s ‘Picture Maker of th« Old West.’ Both hooks have
some excellent pictures when we consider the equipment and
d6te.”—Tex Ewell, Auburn, California.
“The book is wonderful. I was pure astonished to so.-
how fine it is. It will live a thousand years Don t P«i a'i>

bites oil a whale.”—Homer Croy, New York City.

for anyone interested in Western Americana. -YV. E. Mans
field, Walnut Creek, California.
“I am proud of the Album. I don’t see how it can be
sold at such’a low price. Those who have seen it have offered
compliments I have no argument on the items appearing l
the Album of Gunfighters. for you and the Hunters have done
a wonderful job.’’—Wm. V. Morrison, El Paso, Texas.
«Mv copy of Album of Gunfighters has arrived, and it
is truly a fine book, well worth wainting for. Having worked
closely1 with old photographs for some time, I ^aa aPpafcIa ^
the hours of tedious labor that went into the making of this
Album You and the Hunters are to be congratulated for
thisSplendid contribution to Western Americana. -D. A.
Brown, Agricultural Library, University of Illinois, Urbana.
Illinois.
‘‘Just a few lines to let you know I received my copies of
the Album of Gunfighters. You and Mr. Hunter certainly
did a wonderful job. I am well pleased with mine and wish
you great success in the sale of this very fine book. —J. E.
Stoudenmire, Wilmington, North Carolina.
“Received your Gunfighters Album yesterday. I certainly
enjoyed reading it. Everyone that sees it thinks it a wonder-
ful book. The quality of it will last a lifetime- Certainly
hope it is a big success for you and Mr. Hunter. —Mrs. Marian
Pointer, Los Angeles. California.
“The Album of Gunfighters reached rm O. K. It is
indeed a fine job of hookmaking arid larger and finer than
my high expectations had pictured it. Jt will indeed soon
become a collector’s item and will be numbered as one of
the leading Western historical books. As I turn it page
by page it sorta brings hack the old days, and 1 see the
faces of many of my old timey friends—both good and had,-
who made pioneer history whittled out notch by notch on
.their tr.usty old smokies.—Fred Lambert, Southwest author,
Lee’s Summit, Mo.
“I received that wonderful Album and it is so nice. I
do enjoy looking through it. I am so happy to see your
work come out in print and that you have lived to see it.
Makes me think back over the long years that you have worked
in putting it over, and it is now history for years to come.
I hope it is a lesson for the younger people to know that
crime does not pay. I feel so sad in seeing some of my
kindred lying in death because they chos«’ the wrong way
of life, but I blame no one hut themselves. Wes (Hardin) was
too smart to get mixed up in so many wrong ways. From
what my Dad always told us, Wes had a good father and
mother, but was too* headstrong to listen to them. How I
wish my father (Gip Clements) could have seen this book--
it is so grand.”—Mrs. Laura Andrews, Del Rio, Texas.
“The books arrived this morning in A-l shape. You
«ure done some job. I hope you sell a million. It sure is a
«well book and vou ought to have set the price at $15.00; it
would have sold for that easily. Send me some circulars
about the fine new hook; I can place them where you will
receive many orders.”— E. A. Brininstool, Los Angeles, Cali-
fornia.
“My Album of Gunfighters received, and I hope I am
among those to congratulate you first on the wonderful job
of turning out this collection of famous pictures. If there is
a Western hook to heat this in 1951 1 sure would like to see
it. This is one of the top-notch western hook* of this gener-
ation. You may tell Mr. Hunter how well I lik* this volume.
Very likely you have a large collection of old photos besides
th’s fine Album, hut even this many is a swell piece of Ameri-
cana.”—Lament Johnson, Denver. Colorado.
“I have received and looked ov<r your wonderful hook,
time and again a hook that will interest everyone. Even
the preachers will see where they were needed, for if they
could have carried their beautiful story to such daring men
and outlaws it would have turned at least some of them from
the paths of lawlessness. And it has such wonderful pictures.
Mr. Rose certainly deserves credit for collecting them, which
will make his name and yours live long after both of you have
passed away. I do not see how he secured such plain and
accurate likeness of those men of the long ago, before
science had reached the present form of photography. Every
page is intensively attractive and - interesting and the book
should be in every library.”—Frank S. Gray- Copperas Cove,
Texas.
“I received today my Album of Gunfighters. No. 22. It is
a praml work and I compliment you and Noah Rose and
Warren Hunter for a work well done. It was worth waiting
for.”—Edwin Hogue Barker. Crown Point, New York.
“I have just received a copy of the Allium of Gunfighters,
and 1 want to tell vou 1 am greatly impressed with it. This
R an invaluable collection, of early day pictures and bio-
graphies and will undoubtedly serve a most useful purpose
in the future. I should like to commend you and Mr. Rose
for this great contribution to the early day history of the
Southwest.”—O. C. Fisher, M. C., Washington, D. C.
“I received my copy of the Album of Gunfighters Friday,
and needless to say, I immediately devoted a considerable
part of the afternoon and evening to studying the contents
of the beautiful book. The generous space given to my
father is most deeply appreciated. Truthfully, I sincerely
believe the hook should join other important books on the
history of our great state of Texas, for no other publication
I have seen has so thoroughly covered the episodes of men,
both good and bad, who have played a vital part in the
development of this state. True, many of the men depicted
were of notorous character, but perhaps they were pur-
posely placed in the paths of the people who were building
