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

J. Frank Dobie · The Southwest Press (Dallas) · 1930

The Literary Guild of America issue (New York, copies commonly dated 1931; some catalogued 1930) is the classic trap sold as a first — it is the book-club issue, reported in orange cloth stamped in gilt, and it carries the second-state "A Clean Cowman of the Texas Soil" dedication. A Grosset & Dunlap reprint also exists and is frequently mis-catalogued as a first edition; one gallery listing consulted during this check offered a Grosset & Dunlap copy as a "first edition, 1930."
