Blue, faded publisher's stain to top edge. Signed and inscribed by author on front free endpaper: "To Nelle(?) and Billy Strall, my San Francisco friends, and fellow lovers of the West. With best regards, Gene Fowler 1947." Laid in is a vintage postcard by Olive Fell of her famous "Little Cub Bear" in a tree and the message "No Worries," postmarked May 25, 1947, to Mrs. Wm. Strall in San Francisco from Edna M. describing a visit to Yosemite. Binding is a little loose, bumping to text block and corners, no jacket. Originally published in 1933, Timber Line, a biographical novel of the founders of The Denver Post, is Fowler's sixth book. While writing for the Post, he gained notoriety for pressing Buffalo Bill Cody on his numerous love affairs during an interview. He later worked in the film industry, becoming friends with John Barrymore and W.C. Fields. His son, Gene Jr., directed I Was a Teenage Werewolf and worked as a film editor on It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World and Hang 'Em High. (Wikipedia) Olive Fell was a printmaker, painter, muralist and sculptor and spent much of her career as an etcher. Originally from Big Timber, Montana, she studied at the Art Institute of Chicago and New York City's Arts Students League, before moving to Cody, Wyoming.
