"Includes material on...outlaws of the Indian Territory and gunmen of Dodge City...tells about the killing of Phil Coe by Hickok." - Six-Guns and Saddle Leather (1998)"A very engaging account with true friends supporting one another in many harrowing circumstances." -Goodreads ReviewThe Author was a cowboy, during the period of which he writes, and is thoroughly conversant with every phase of cowboy life. After the lapse of many years, some of the most pleasant recollections engraved on the tablets of his memory are of the open plains, the wild cattle, and the irresistible cowboy.To travel over the ground where these cattle once grazed in countless numbers and see the domestic kind now driven to the pastures by little children; to see the broad prairies, where formerly a ride of a thousand miles would not reveal a furrow or fence, now checkered over with posts and wires and plowed fields, and the landscape dotted here and there with stacks of wheat, ricks of hay, and farm-houses, makes the old cowboy long to again see the prairies covered with longhorned cattle, picturesque wild horses, and herds of innumerable buffaloes; to once more ride the bucking broncho in pursuit of the wild steer and the fighting maverick; to hear the coyote's howl and the stampede's roar; to inhale the aroma of wild flowers whilst breathing the life-giving air that blows across the free and untrammeled plains, where the sun rises and sets in a halo of glory, where you have that thrilling of the heart, that buoyancy of spirit, that drives away every care and makes you laugh at danger. To portray this wild, active and strenuous life, and to give an accurate pen-picture of this past and forgotten industry, is the mission of Circle-dot.Contents:1.Circle-dot 2.Bill And Sandy3.The Cowboy4.The Boy From Arkansas5.Sandy Tells Jim About Texas6.Banard Raymez7.Joe Dingby8.A Bull-fight9.Indian Raids10.The Texas Steer In The Round-up11.Incidents About The Ranch12.The Old Pecan Tree13.A Norther14.Poker Jack15.Rescue Of May Dyer16.The Horse-race17.Adventures Of An Evening18.A Sand-storm19.The Mirage20.The Buffalo21.Wolves Attack Cattle22.The Black 'dobe23.Wild Horses24.A Trip To The Wichita Mountains25.Cattle Driven To Abilene, Kansas26.The Cattle27.The Stampede28.On The Trail29.The Duel30.Texas Fever31.Abilene32.Sandy And Jim "shoot Up" Abilene33.Newton34.Wichita35.Dodge City36.The Return Trip37.A Prairie Fire38.Through The Indian Nation39.A Lucky Shot40.The Proposal41.Tried By Regulators42.Bill Makes A Decision43.A Fight To A Finish44.Indian Territory Desperadoes45."A Life For A Life,"46.The Battle Of The Boggy47.Death Of Jim, 48.Bill And Circle-dot Agree, 49.Sandy Tells Bill A Secret,This book published in 1907 has been reformatted for the Kindle and may contain an occasional defect from the original publication or from the reformatting.
