For your consideration is this 1926 First Edition of “Wild Bill Hickok: The Prince of Pistoleers” by Frank J. Wilstach, Garden City Publishing, New York. Wild Bill was a fascinating personality to all who knew him. The mere mention of his name never failed to bring a crash of brasses from the orchestra. His friends never ceased to chant his praises as an honest man, an incredibly accurate pistol shot, and an individual who was without fear in the presence of danger. Frank Jenners Wilstach (1865-1933) was an American theatrical business manager, press agent, author of many articles, most of which were about Wild Bill Hickok, and this book "Wild Bill Hickok, the Prince of Pistoleers". This orange cloth bound stamped hardcover exhibits scuffing and soiling. Intact pages are top edge painted, deckled page fore edge, age tanning and foxing exhibited throughout. 5.5"W x 8.5"L x 1.25"D
