Title: Hopalong Cassidy
Description: New York, NY: A. L. Burt Company, 1911. 6th Printing. Hardcover. This book is in Very Good- condition and is lacking a dust jacket. There is some light bumping and rubbing to the spine ends and corners of the book covers. The lettering on the spine of the book has faded somewhat. The front inner spine joint has cracked. There is a rectangular pictorial pastedown illustration on the front cover of the book. The illustration is in mostly clean condition, but there is some fading and spots of rubbing and wear to the corners. The text pages are generally clean, but there is noticeable generalized toning and spots of ground-in dirt and foxing. There is a previous owner's inked name on the front pastedown page, and a small previous bookstore sticker on bottom edge of the front endpaper. "Mulford was born in Streator, Illinois. He created Hopalong Cassidy in 1904 while living in Fryeburg, Maine, and the many short stories and 28 novels were adapted to radio, feature film, television, and comic books, often deviating significantly from the original stories, especially in the character's traits. While many of his stories depicted Cassidy and other men of the Bar-20 ranch, he also wrote novels (and short stories) of other Westerners, starting with Johnny Nelson in 1920. He also wrote nonfiction, mostly about the American West, the outdoors, and motoring. More than just writing a very popular series of Westerns, Mulford recreated an entire detailed and authentic world filled with characters drawn from his extensive library research. His biographer, Francis Nevins, characterized Mulford's writing as "rooted in Victorian convention." Nevins also states that he originated the Western series that has continuous characters, and that, unlike the characters of most later Western series writers, his characters aged." (from Wikipedia). Very Good- .
