CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform, 2018 M06 17 - 258 páginas
Tales of Southwestern adventures experienced by gold prospectors, cattle ranchers and others trying to make their way through the 19th century wild west. Stewart Edward White spent time as a cowboy, particularly during cattle round-up times. At night while sitting around the campfire, it was common for cowboys to tell stories and relate their own experiences, perhaps embellished. It is likely that this is the source of White's novel.

Acerca del autor (2018)

Stewart Edward White was a keen observer of the beauties of nature and human nature, yet could render them in a plain-spoken style. Based on his own experience, whether writing camping journals or Westerns, he included pithy and fun details about cabin-building, canoeing, logging, gold-hunting, and guns and fishing and hunting. He also interviewed people who had been involved in the fur trade, the California gold rush and other pioneers which provided him with details that give his novels verisimilitude. He salted in humor and sympathy for colorful characters such as canny Indian guides and "greenhorn" campers who carried too much gear.
