 "KIT CARSON, JR THE CRACK SHOT OF THE WEST  "                                                     or A Wild Romance WRITTEN  BY Buckskin Sam.

  This is a very rare issue that hasnt been seen at auction for years. The nearly full page lithograph is quite striking and is considered to be the quintessential of the dime novel genre. This particular issue is rarely seen and almost never up for sale .  This book is in good condition with some foxing on page edges. Spine is taped but the paper quality is very good. This issue is a large format 12.5 inches by 8.25 inches.  32 pages in the large printing of a Buckskin Sam. (See Scan for compete details)

This book is one of a large collection we are placing on our Ebay store of rarely available items and books.  The book is one of the many rarely seen items that we will be offering over the next few months from a collectors estate sale. Once these are gone how long before you will see them come up again. Once a collector buys them they go right back into a vault somewhere.

     We always take into consideration a customers history of buying from us when addressing "BEST OFFER" option. We will respond to you within the allotted time but if it has just been listed we will give it the full time period to allow others to make similar offers or purchase. We list many, many items that may be "One of a kind" or simply "One of a kind on the market". These items usually are placed in collections which are not seen again on the market until once again sold by collectors. If you collect, you realize that is a once in a lifetime occurrence for collectors.....
