Coronado's Children: Tales of Lost Mines and Buried Treasures of the Southwest

Southwest Press (Dallas) 1930 is the true first; there is no earlier UK or foreign-language edition, and the first UK edition is much later (Hammond, London, 1960). Note a common cataloguing error: this is Dobie's second book, following A Vaquero of the Brush Country (1929), not his first. "First thus" traps include the Bantam paperback (A-1089, first printing thus February 1953), the University of Texas Press reissues (a 1978 signed limitation of 300, plus 1979 and 1998 issues), and the 1980 Neiman-Marcus / Arion Press goatskin-bound limitation of 300.
