The Robert E. Howard Foundation Newsletter v1 #3
Publication date: Fall 2007
Introduction
"While Smoke Rolled" is a facsimile of the Howard typescript of a draft of the story. This story has never been published in this, its original version. This version has Pike Bearfield as the hero; the published version has Breckinridge Elkins in his place. The back cover is a color copy of one of Howard's onionskin carbons, with the text on the reverse side showing through (typed on both sides to save on paper costs).
Not available for individual sale. This newsletter was provided to Friends of REH and Legacy Circle members of the Robert E. Howard Foundation. It is a limited edition and all surplus copies will be destroyed at year’s end.
