[ii]+ 90, 3 full page illustrations (2 photographic), pictorial endpapers printed in brown; yellow cloth, spine lettered in brown; dust wrapper; Dennis McMillan Publications, Miami, Florida, 1987. First U.S. edition. [Loder p. 231]. *Four articles, the first of which was originally published by The Midget Masterpiece Publishing Co., Sydney, in 1934. The present edition [limitation not stated, but probably 600 copies], is one of four Upfield titles published by Dennis McMillan without the consent of Bonaparte Holdings, who hold the copyright to Upfield's work. The three other articles, all written in 1935, are: Patrolling the World's Longest Fence; An Australian Camel Station; and Trapping for Fur. The title piece is the author's own account of John Thomas Smith, alias Snowy Rowles, who murdered three men in Western Australia during late 1929 and early 1930. Rowles disposed of their bodies using a method he had heard Upfield discuss when the latter was devising the plot for The Sands of Windee. Item #132031
