The Untamed

Census claim confirmed. US first edition and the first book appearance; Faust's first book, and the first of the Max Brand Westerns. The Putnam title page reads "New York and London," but the sheets are American (printed at the Knickerbocker Press, New York) — that dual imprint is Putnam's own house line, not evidence of a separate British edition. No separately set UK first is documented in the sources consulted, so there is no UK/US precedence contest: the 1919 Putnam is the true first.
