Description
A novel of the cattle country and of the mountains, by James B. Hendryx, will at once commend itself to the host of readers who have enthusiastically followed this brilliant writer's work. Again he has written a red-blooded, romantic story of the great open spaces, of the men who 'do' things and of the women who are brave - a tale at once turbulent and tender, impassioned but restrained. "A story of life in the open...sufficiently exciting to recommend itself for holiday reading. The author of 'The Promise,' in this present romantic tale of brave women and strong men, of turbulent deeds offset with tenderness, with the mountains and wild country for a background, has written another story that must commend itself to enthusiastic readers of his earlier novels." -The Bookseller, Newsdealer and Stationer CONTENTS.
