Publisher's Synopsis
I've been around considerable in the Western Country-mostly some years back-and I've seen quite a little, one way and another, of the folks living there: but I can't really and truly say I've often come up with them nature's noblemen-all the time at it doing stunts in natural nobility-the story-books make out is the chief population of them parts. Like enough the young fellers from the East who write such sorts of books-having plenty of spare time for writing, while they're giving their feet a rest to get the ache out-do come across 'em, same as they say they do; but I reckon the herd's a small one-and, for a fact, if you could cross the book brand with the kind you mostly meet on the ranges the breed would be improved.
