Typed manuscript with autograph annotations, no place or date, being the typescript for "An Accident in the Southwest," an apparent essay, more a collection of anecdotes, about some of the more extreme aspects of cowboy life. 2 pages, quarto, some damage and stains to one page. The stationery is imprinted with the name of a Doctor's office, 857 Broadway, Oakland, California. Approximately 18 annotations in Borein's hand, including across the top "San Augustine Plains New Mexico." Beneath in another hand is written "by Ed Borein." An excerpt: "On a ranch in Mexico a wild mule once ran away with a 'bronco buster', and when they found the mule two days after the wrists was still about his neck while the other end was attached to the right arm of the man who in some way had got the rope twisted about his wrist. The remainder of his body was found a long way back on the trail, torn to pieces by the shear rocks over which he had been dragged by the runaway."
