Oil Field Vignettes - Jim Thompson's earliest known published work

Thompson, Jim
Publisher -The Texas Monthly (formerly Bunker's Monthly)
Vol 3 Number 2, February 1929
Editor - Peter Molyneaux. Wraps. Conditon is Good. Slight cock to a minor sunfaded spine. Top and botton of spine are bumped. Cover is bright. Earliest known published work by Thompson, predating by a near decade, all work under the Federal Writer's Project and the known published articles for the mystery and crime rags. Interesting to read Thompson before the marked influence of mentor William Cunningham, director of the Oklahoma Federal Writer's Project. Thompson would take over the position after Cunningham only to be replaced by Angie Debo. With help from William Cunningham and Woody Guthrie, Thomspon's first novel Now and on Earth would be published by Modern Publishing in 1942, lauching his career as a writer. This is the earliest known representation of a young, pure and raw Jim Thompson.
