SAVAGE, Les, Jr.

Treasure of the Brasada

First edition. Slight offsetting on the front pastedown else fine in a rubbed, very good dustwrapper with some shallow chipping at the foot and on the rear panel. First book by this prolific, if short-lived western writer. Laid in is a typed letter dated 23 April 1958 and Signed by Savage ("Les") to fellow western author Samuel A. Peebles. Savage, as Chairman of the Nominating Committee of the Western Writers of America, announces the winners of the election for officers, and thanks Peebles, who apparently wasn't elected, for his participation in the election. Original envelope present. Savage died at age 35, and his autograph is exceptionally uncommon.
