HOOKER, FORRESTINE COOPER. Long dim trail. (Borzoi western stories) *$2 (2c) Knopf
20–17651
The story is a vivid picture of the life in the Arizona cattle country with its teeming beauty during prosperous seasons, its forlorn hope in times of drought, and the colorful variety of its human element. There is the sprinkling of college-bred easterners, the rough cow punchers with the warm loyal hearts, the Mexican, the Chinaman and the desperado. Between them all there is romance and thrilling adventure.
“The suggestion of artificiality is pleasingly absent in ‘The long dim trail.’ The book’s greatest charm lies in the fact that its pictures of life on the cattle ranges of Arizona compel the conviction that they are as accurate as they are vivid.”
