Comprised in this book are eight thrilling stories set in the American West, linked by the themes of life and manners and, occasionally, a commonality of characters. Written in a time of disunity of America by the master of Western literature, this text details a society not too far removed from that of the contemporary: it’s a story about ‘indians and soldiers and events west of Missouri’. Written by the ‘father of western fiction’ Owen Wister, this piece contains many actual accounts of famous events: “The visit of Young-man-afraid-of-his-horses to the Little Big Horn and the rise and fall of the young Crow impostor, General Crook’s surprise of E-egante, and many other occurrences, noble and ignoble, are told as they were told ... by those who saw them.” A thrilling collection of some of the best western fiction, this book is a must-have for any fan of the genre. Owen Wister was an American writer and giant of western fiction. Originally published in 1895, this book is republished with an introductory biography of the author.

His expression in the Council Chamber had been of the regulation military indifference, and as he went down the steps he irrelevantly sang an old English tune: '' Since first I saw your face I resolved To honor and re--' I guess," he interrupted himself as he unhitched his horse, "parrot and monkey hev broke loose." The Legislature, always in its shirt-sleeves, the cards on the table, and the toddy on the floor, sat calm a moment, cooled by this brief pause from the first heat of its surprise, while the clatter of Corporal Jones's galloping shrank quickly into silence. II Captain Paisley walked slowly from the adjutant's office at Boise" Barracks to his quarters, and his orderly walked behind him. The captain carried a letter in his hand, and the orderly, though distant a respectful ten paces, could hear him swearing plain as day. When he reached his front door Mrs. Paisley met him. "Jim," cried...
