We see how Jesse placed himself squarely in this context with his thirst for attentionhis partisan pronouncements and his alliance with a rising ex-Confederate newspaper editor who helped shape Jesse's image for their common purpose.In using violence and the news media to promote a political causeJesse James was neither a Robin Hood nor a quaint Wild West figure. Ratheras his life played out across the racial dividethe rise of the Klanand the expansion of the railroadshe was a forerunner of what we have come to call a terrorist.<br />With groundbreaking scholarship and dazzling reinterpretationT. J. Stiles has refashioned one of the great legends of American historyoffering brilliant insights along the way into both the nation and the man.<br />Please contact seller @ rpaxtonden@blueyonder.co.uk because of the weight/value of this item for correctinsured shipping/Pp quotes - particularly ALL overseas buyers - BEFORE ordering through the order page!

Women Outlaws
Rare Anomalous 1951 Comic "Women Outlaws #0
1951. ComicsWestern Americana Anomalous comic "Cody of the Pony Express #1" with wrappers for "Female Outlaws". New York: Fox Features ca. 1951. Illustrated in color throughout. Original stapled pictorial wraps. 4to 10.25" x 7". A curious and rare anomalous printing from Fox Syndicate in which the comic interior Cody of the Pony Express does not match the wrappers Women Outlaws. Lacking issue number on the cover and no publication date or copyright notice. This issue is sometimes referred to as "Women Outlaws #0". The first Cody story starts on page 2 but still comprises a full standard 36-page comic. This anomaly illustrates how mid-century comic publishers especially smaller ones like Fox sometimes recycled or rebranded content to meet publishing schedules or redirect stock.<br /> <br /> The first issue of Cody of the Pony Express a short-lived Western series from Fox Feature Syndicate dramatizes the exploits of a youthful William "Buffalo Bill" Cody during his fabled tenure as a Pony Express rider. Released at the height of the postwar boom in Western popular culture the comic positions Cody as a frontier hero navigating sabotage frontier violence and betrayal. As with other Fox titles of the period Cody blends action with sentimentality and features a mix of standalone stories and continuing characters. This first issue is especially notable for it's covers which were originally used for another Western themed Fox comic "Women Outlaws" Issue no. 7.<br /> <br /> The comic includes five story segments: "Wagons of Death" in which Cody discovers a devastated wagon train and must avenge his dying friend; "Powdersmoke Payoff" in which Cody's efforts to secure a freight contract are disrupted by hired guns; "Sleepy Time Six-Shooters" a tale highlighting the physical toll of postal duty on the prairie; "Jim Coulter's Race for Life" involving a desperate dash through Indigenous territory; and the two-page prose narrative "Family Feud." Comic exhibits wear and discoloration to wrappers with some chipping to spine. Interior with two small ink mark to margins of page 1 otherwise clean and complete with minimal wear. Overall good to very good condition. This issue with anomalous wrappers is valuable not just for its rarity but also as a material example of the fluid and sometimes rushed publishing practices of Golden Age comic producers. unknown
