MACDONALD, A. B. HANDS UP! STORIES OF THE SIX-GUN FIGHTERS OF THE OLD 
WILD WEST. Indianapolis: Bobbs-Merrill Company, (1927). First Edition. 
As told by Fred E. Sutton. Illustrated with 15 photographs including 
Billy the Kid, Wild Bill Hickock, Bat Masterson, and others. This copy 
INSCRIBED and SIGNED on the half-title page by Macodonald Christmas 1929 
in Kansas City to Edward A. Braniff of Tulsa, Oklahoma: "As a token of a 
friendship that has lived since we were reporters together, many years 
ago, on the Kansas City Star." Adams, SIX GUNS 2171: "Scarce. The author 
makes many questionable statements. According to his narrative he 
appears to have been personally acquainted with all the outlaws of the 
West, but in view of his age at his death in 1927, such acquaintances 
would have been impossible." One example of Sutton's imagination would 
be his claim that he saved Billy the Kid's life in Dodge City. Sutton 
would have been 3-years old at the time. Foxing to pastedowns, front 
free endpaper neatly excised. Very Good in a Very Good example of the 
scarce dustwrapper with a stain at the bottom half of the spine and 
chipping to the head. (#018557)        $75.00
