About This Book

A sequence of Western tales set in and around a frontier town, following figures such as Mr. Masterson and Cimarron Bill through episodes of horse and mule chases, rescues, town politics, romantic entanglements, and dry humor. The pieces move between tense nocturnal pursuits and daring rescues, satirical sketches of local diplomacy and newspaper intrigues, and personal encounters that reveal loyalties and grudges. The narratives blend brisk action with character observation and a reflective view of a changing frontier, producing a portrait of community life, shifting authority, and the closing of an open-country era.
