“Has consulted good, though not many, sources, and is not sensational in the treatment of her topics.

Lewis, Alfred Henry (Dan Quin, pseud.). [Sunset trail.] [†]$1.50. Barnes.
Cattle days, and Dodge City, the crown of the Texas cattle region, furnish the time and place for this breezy story. Bat Masterson, who is a real person, is the hero, and as sheriff has many adventures and shows much courage, finally winning the love of a Boston girl by killing seven Indians before her eyes.
[*] “The book is not compelling in interest.”
