Adams, Andy. [Cattle brands.] †$1.50. Houghton.
Life on the frontier in the eighties is vividly portrayed in the fourteen stories which Mr. Adams, “a veteran cowboy,” has included in this volume. These are tales “of the desperado; of man-to-man difficulties; of queer characters; the adventures of the cowboy in the field of politics, the capture of outlaws by rangers; and the ransom of rich rancheros who have been kidnapped.” Some titles are: Drifting North, Bad Medicine, A winter round-up, A college vagabond, The double trail, Rangering, and The story of a poker steer.
