Book Description

Excerpt from From Far Dakota: And Otherwhere I thought to try an innovation. It's about time! I'm no tender-foot, either. In civilisation they would set the dogs on a man that went out 0' nights in a Prince Albert, ' even if they spared him jail. A new and dangerous species of tramp that, ' says they, I guess.' So? Culture changes with longitude. Five years ago a buckskin suit with guns on the side was the proper thing here. You ought to know better than to dare the boys this way. I wore a dress coat once out here, just after I came - three years past. You'd better look out for Tim White. He's sure to be on your track; put a chunk of stinking cheese in one claw of my coat that time; couldn't think what ailed folk until I reached for my gloves. A good trick to play just once. After that it gets monotonous. Like to see him try it on again, for all he's thick in the neck. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
