lively and exciting adventures.
^HER PRAIRIE KNIGHT^
A realistic story of the plains, describing a gay party of
Easterners who exchange a cottage at Newport for the rough
homeliness of a Montana ranch-house. The merry-hearted cowboys, the
fascinating Beatrice, and the effusive Sir Redmond, become living,
breathing personalities.
^THE RANGE DWELLERS^
Here are everyday, genuine cowboys, just as they really exist.
Spirited action, a range feud between two families, and a Romeo and
Juliet courtship make this a bright, jolly, entertaining story,
without a dull page.
^THE LURE OF DIM TRAILS^
A vivid portrayal of the experience of an Eastern author, among the
cowboys of the West, in search of “local color” for a new novel.
“Bud” Thurston learns many a lesson while following “the lure of the
dim trails” but the hardest, and probably the most welcome, is that
of love.
^THE LONESOME TRAIL^
“Weary” Davidson leaves the ranch for Portland, where conventional
city life palls on him. A little branch of sage brush, pungent with
the atmosphere of the prairie, and the recollection of a pair of
large brown eyes soon compel his return. A wholesome love story.
^THE LONG SHADOW^
A vigorous Western story, sparkling with the free, outdoor, life of
a mountain ranch. Its scenes shift rapidly and its actors play the
game of life fearlessly and like men. It is a fine love story from
start to finish.
