Sulphur, Abbott, 1908 [1909]. A collection of tales that appears to be an autobiographical novel written by a Chickasaw woman, but is, according to Marable and Boylan's A Handbook of Oklahoma Writers [Norman: University of Oklahoma Press, 1939], authored by Aaron Abbott. This copy is inscribed by the author in the year of publication: "Presented to/ Miss Addie G. Clifton/ by her Chickasaw cousin,/ Oleta Littleheart/ Sulphur, Ok.,/ June 17, 1909." Rear cover missing with a substitute cover attached by tape; front cover chipped and literally stitched back together (apparently using a sewing machine); spine wrapper chipped at both extremities; scattered foxing to text; only a fair copy of the issue in the lighter beige-tan wrappers, but the only signed copy we've seen, and one that raises the question as to whether Aaron Abbott, who is listed as the publisher of this volume, was in fact also the writer, or a ghost writer, and whether a person named Oleta Littleheart actually existed and actually wrote these tales or some portion of them.
