"This, Will James' first book, is a series of short stories about cowboy life in the real and actual West as it truly was between the 1870's and the early years of the 20th century. These stories, in colorful words and striking illustrations, portrayed the true working West rather than the Hollywood variety. All of the eight short stories in the book were previously printed in magazines. Seven of them appeared first in Scribner's Magazine, and the last one was printed in The Saturday Evening Post" (Frazier). First state with nothing printed on the half-title verso. "First and best of his many books" - Howes J55; Adams Herd 1153; Frazier p. 1.
