Some wear to extremities with the corners just barely rubbed through a small scrape mark on the front cover, else very good to near fine with no internal markings. No dust jacket. On the front pastedown is the following written in ink: "John B. Ritch | By 'Mama' | Minnie R. Ritch | Who's waiting now | for the Bus | to Kelso? (sic)" Laid in is a typed, signed letter dated 19 February 1999 addressed to Diana with an illegible signature [John? Looks like J something] in which the author explains the gifting of this book to Diana. Book is dedicated to Mama, which suggests that the inscription on the front pastedown may mean this is an association copy connected to members of the Ritch family. Per the US Census 1930, the author was born ca. 1916 the son of John B. and Minnie R. Rich, lived at 5th Avenue South, Lewiston, Fergus, MT. Apparently he once served as the Montana Historical Society Librarian and was the author of "Shorty's Saloon". Which John B. Ritch is referenced in the inscription is unclear to me. A famous volume of so-called "Cowboy Poetry".
