Title: A Slip of Paper Signed by Novelist and Author of Many Westerns Katharine Newlin Burt.
Description: December 14, 1925. 1925. - A 2-1/4 inch high by 5 inch wide slip of paper is boldly signed "Katherine Newlin Burt". It is dated in another hand above the signature "Dec. 14. 1925". The paper is darkened with some very light creasing & with a tiny chip to the right hand edge. There is a tear to the surface of the verso with 2 small pieces of tape where the paper has been removed from an album. Good.

Katharine Newlin Burt [1882-1977] was an American novelist. She was the author of many Westerns and over a publishing career that spanned more than sixty years, at least seven of her works were adapted to film. She also wrote original screen stories for two more films. Norris Wilson Yates notes that she "excels in evoking Western landscape as a force in the lives and feelings of her characters". She and her husband Maxwell Struthers Burt lived four months of the year in the eastern U.S but spent the rest of their time at their "real home", the Bar B C Dude Ranch, a thousand-acre cattle ranch at the foot of the Tetons in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Good .
