Description
[TEXIANA]. -- [McMURTRY, Larry (1936-2021), his copy]. BURTON, Harley True (1888-1964). A History of the J A Ranch. Austin: Von Boeckmann-Jones Co., 1928.

Tall 8vo. Illustrated with full-page plates after photographs and maps (light offsetting from frontispiece). Original gilt-lettered red cloth (spine gently sunned, some light spotting to covers). Provenance: Larry McMurtry (his bookplate, which he designed, features the horseshoe-shaped brand his father and grandfather used on the McMurtry cattle), from his personal library at his home in Archer City; Joseph H. McMurtry (ownership signature dated 1928).

FIRST EDITION. “One of the first ranch histories, and one of the rarest and most important. It is not known how many copies of this book were printed, but it certainly was no more than several hundred” (Reese, Six Score 18). Adams Herd 382; Howes B-1030.
