An unusual treasure has been discovered at the Queens Public Library. The anonymous gift illuminates a little-known history. ElleMcLogan reports.
When librarians unsealed the box, they could hardly believe what was inside.
The copy of"The Lonesome Trail" by B.M. Bower was last checked out on July 22, 1926. Mailed anonymously, the package came with only a short message:"Long overdue book -- sorry!" "Readers and critics of the day really believed that this was written by a man because it seemed so true to actual cowboy life," senior librarian Pat Miller said."I think, at the time, she was the first writer of these pulp novel Westerns as a female," Miller said.
