Description

MURDER & MYSTERY IN NEW MEXICO Erna Fergusson Published by Merle Armitage Editions, Albuquerque, New Mexico. 1948 Signed First Edition Nine true tales of murder or man-to-man killings in frontier New Mexico 193 pages plus 8 pages of photos at the back. "Nine true tales. Some deal with murder, some with man-to-man killings of the old frontier. Some are mysteries that will probably never be solved, though some people say they could explain everything--if only they dared to speak! About every story there is speculation and long conversational differences." This copy is signed by the author on the half title. This copy also has the bookplate of western novelist E. B. Mann (1902-1989) attached inside the front cover, and came from his personal collection.
