Romer, F.

Makers of History : A Story of the Development of the History of Uur Country and the Part Played in it By the Colt

Hartford, CT, Colt's Patent Fire Arms Manufacturing Co. Soft cover. 64p. Only date listed is 1926, but appears to be a later printing. Stiff illustrated wraps. Cover and contents are clean and crisp, slight staple rust and staple pulling to cover. Laid-in is an addendum slip explaining that since the first publication, investigation has determined that Captain Wallace was killed by Indians rather than by "self-destruction". That leads us to believe that this copy, and most other copies that are in such good condition, were published later than the 1926 date stated on the title page. Very Good.
