        Laid-in manuscript note by Tom Lea: "This series was conceived and the first drawings made in 1937. The purpose wass to record the great historical facts about the men whose pioneering, etc. etc. Tom Lea." A selection of typescripts, printed pages with proofreader's marks, marked illustrations, etc. Lowman, Printer at the Pass 38n: "Regarded by many as the greatest of all the Lea-Hertzog collaborations, this book was eight years in the making. In 1938 Tom Lea conceived the idea as a means to acquaint El Pasoans with their community's colorful history. To pay for the art work, Hertzog sold four of the drawings to the Hotel Paso del Norte for use as menu covers (see item 305 herein). Hertzog then borrowed the cuts after they had been used, bought such type as he could afford, and worked out specimen pages. Several wealthy citizens were approached, without success, about sponsoring the project ('one couldn't read, and the other already had a book'). But the menus were so well received that the hotel ordered three more.
        "Then the war came and the idea was shelved, but the type was kept intact. Finally, in 1946, the president of the Electric Company was so impressed with the value of the work as a community endeavor that he contracted for 250 copies, which financed the production of the book....
        "Only enough type was available for the three sample pages. Rather than wait for more, Hertzog printed these pages, distributed the type, and printed more until the book was completed. Author and printer worked together, changing words and eliminating phrases to make each page fit typographically. Since they had only T, F, and W in a large size for initials, each story was rewritten to start with one of those letters-except the last, for which an A was borrowed."
