Here is a collection of stories that includes the classics Christmas Eve on Lonesome and Hell for Satan (Sairtin and other spellings), and also includes the Army of the Callahan, The Last Stetson, The Pardon of Becky Day, A Crisis for the Guard, and Christmas Eve with Satan. Color frontispiece with tissue depicts little girl in store with Satan, "only a woolly little black dog, and surely no dog was ever more absurdly misnamed" (p. 203).
