A FINE STORY OF THE COWBOY AT HIS BEST

WITH HOOPS of STEEL

By FLORENCE FINCH KELLY

     “The friends thou hast, and their adoption tried,
     Grapple them to thy soul with hoops of steel”

* * * * *

From the San Francisco Chronicle:

“Western men and women will read it because it paints faithfully the life which they know so well, and because it gives us three big, manly fellows, fine types of the cowboy at his best.  Eastern readers will be attracted by its splendid realism.”

From Julian Hawthorne:

“For my own part, I finished it all in one day, and dreamt it over again that night.  And I am an old hand, heaven knows”

From the Denver Times:

“Mrs. Kelly’s character stands out from the background of the New Mexican plains, desert and mountain with all the distinctness of a Remington sketch.”
