Arizona's Dark and Bloody Ground Earle Forrest 1953 1st UK Ed Wild West History

A scarce First UK Edition (1953) of Arizona's Dark and Bloody Ground by Earle R. Forrest, with a Foreword by famed western author William MacLeod Raine. Published in London by Andrew Melrose, Ltd., and printed in Great Britain by The Anchor Press, Ltd.

This authentic historical work chronicles the ruthless Pleasant Valley vendetta—the deadliest cattleman-sheepherder feud in Arizona's cattleland history during the 1880s, fought between the Graham and Tewksbury factions in the Tonto Basin. Illustrated with photographic plates depicting key locations and figures (such as the Blevins' cottage at Holbrook) and featured illustrated map endpapers of Arizona territory.
