Breckinridge Elkins Rough Trails 4

For the first time, a collection featuring all of Howard's extant drafts and fragments about Breckinridge Elkins. The last volume in a four-part series from the REH Foundation Press collects all the drafts for the novel A Gent from Bear Creek and the two drafts for two chapters made for the novel. 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 last volume, Howard scholar Jeffrey Shanks let me use a previously published essay about Breckinridge, and Paul Herman wrote an essay about the history of the typescripts.
