Life of the Marlows
George and Charles Marlow, 1892
MARLOW, George (1858-1945) and Charles MARLOW (1860-1941). Life of the Marlows as Related by Themselves. Ouray, Colorado: Kelley & Hulaniski, 1892.
First edition of this account of the five Marlow brothers, told by the only two to survive. Caught in a conspiracy concocted by a Texas sheriff, the Marlow brothers' "tale of adventure" (as advertised on the front wrapper) involved a shoot out with the county's entire male population. Rare at auction: RBH records no copies of the first edition, and ABPC records only one, selling in 1994. Howes M-295 ("b").
Octavo (194 x 140mm). Modern wrappers (original front wrapper laid down, loss at margins). (Frontispiece, title page, and several other leaves in facsimile; a few other leaves at beginning and end with varying degrees of restoration, most strengthened and reinserted on stubs.) Custom quarter morocco slipcase. [With:] A tin type of one of the brothers.
