Reviews
On Apr 3 2020, a reader said:
When this novel was written the character of western novels had evolved from the serious to the light hearted type which would soon flood the radio and television market of the 1940's and 1950's. The dialog was crisp, repartee, and banter between the main characters was the emphasis. The magazine market, specifically the "pulp" market wanted this type of book, and they got it in spades. Every writer hoping to get published had to go this route, and they did--even Zane Grey, as his later novels used broad colloquialisms and the like. Here, William Colt MacDonald justs follow suit, and it makes for a rip-roarin' good time. Add to that a little mystery, a little superstition, and you've got a book that keeps you doubled up. Read this book for who and what it was intended and just have a good time with it.

I started out as a book collector and soon progressed to owning a book store with over 80,000 books and more than 10,000 pieces of ephemera, postcards, and other items. I exhibited my stock for years at book and paper shows around the eastern United States. As the book and paper business has changed over the years, I have changed the way I do business to evolve with the times. I now offer my items for sale on the web only, through my various listing services and web sites. Being a a collector, as well as a dealer, I understand the importance of condition, as well as rarity of an item, and the desire to own scarce and one of a kind items.
