The Sheriff of Elk Ridge by Mason Macrae 1st Edition Cowboy Western Pulp Fiction Hardback 1930s Classic Tale of the Old West

The Sheriff of Elk Ridge was published between 1935 and 1936.

This appears to be a first edition and is scarce in the original wrapper.

"An ominous, brooding hush suddenly blanketed the customers of the Elk Pleasure Palace. Play at the gambling tables ceased abruptly and men's eyes became riveted on the three figures at the bar. Glasses were either gripped tightly in knotted fingers or pushed aside as if the purchaser has lost all interest in wetting the dryness of his throat. Red Kyles tapering hands, sun-cooked, dun coloured, were hanging loosely at his sides, the fingers close to the walnut stocked butts of his Colts. His brown eyes narrowed to slits, were concentrating on the close-set beady black ones of the scarred and pockmarked man facing him, Cyanide Potter."
