upon cowboys and bad men issued by a standard publisher in a

humble buyers of his paper-backed books.

dians of the frontier tradition in Parker County is G. A. Hol-

relics of the frontier period into a genuine, pioneer, double log

whom fought the Indians and some of whom heard the stories
told many times after the Indians were gone.334
