Breckinridge Elkins Rough Trails 3 (paperback)

First Cuts: The Drafts and Fragments – Breckinridge Elkins is a four-volume set of books (over 1200 pages!) collecting every surviving draft Robert E. Howard wrote featuring Breckinridge Elkins, including the short stories and the novel A Gent from Bear Creek.

The third volume in a four-part series from the REH Foundation Press collects all the drafts for the last six of Howard’s Breckinridge Elkins short 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.
