Breckinridge Elkins Rough Trails 1: First Cuts: the Drafts and Fragments - Paperback

by Robert E. Howard (Author), Ståle Gismervik (Cover Design by), Ståle Gismervik (Prepared by)

For the first time, a collection featuring all of Howard's extant drafts and fragments about Breckinridge Elkins. The first volume in a four-part series from the REH Foundation Press collects all the drafts for Howard's drafts for the first six of the Breckinridge Elkins stories. All from Howard's original typescripts, manuscripts, and carbons. Howard's raw text, including typos and weird spellings, is preserved. Footnotes describe where Howard inserted text either by typing in between lines or by hand.

For the first volume, Howard scholar Patrice Louinet kindly allowed me to use an essay he wrote in 2012, slightly updated - the perfect essay for this first volume.
