Description

Sallie Reynolds Matthews. Signed. Interwoven A Pioneer Chronicle. Houston: The Anson Jones Press, 1936. First edition. Signed by Sallie Reynolds Matthews on the front free endpaper. Octavo. 8vo. x, [2], 234 pages. Photographic portrait of the author and her husband used as frontispiece. Publisher's original tan cloth with titles stamped in black on the front board and spine. Dust jacket.

Scarce, privately printed book which "gives a good picture of early Texas ranch life and trail driving, related by a woman whose father and husband were well-known ranchmen." Adams also notes that the author was "a sister of Glenn Reynolds, the sheriff of Gila County, Arizona, who was killed by the Apache Kid when he made his escape. She gives a good account of this episode..." Jenkins indicates this is "the best book on Texas ranch life from a woman's perspective."

Condition: Near fine in a good dust jacket. Light edge wear with some modest soiling to boards; contents tight and particularly clean. Contemporary owner's name written small on the front pastedown; Concordia Teachers College gift ex-libris on the flyleaf. Jacket with some loss at the lower portion of the spine and some at the top of the spine just affecting the title; with other small chips and tears.
