Excerpt from front flap: "If you want to meet real cowboys, taken directly from life, you will find them in the two leading characters of this book--'Lonesome' McQuirk and 'Windy' de Long. ... They're plain everyday hombres of the Oregon ranges, middle-aged, hard-bitten, shy of women, skilled in the handling of cards and six-guns, thoroughly loyal and courageous. They had been partners for many moons, and when Lonesome became interested in the red-haired schoolma'am of the district, it looked as if the partnership might be dissolved .... A refreshing book that will make the reader acquainted with some typical Western scenes and incidents and with some delightfully human Western characters.". Book. Book Condition: Fine. Binding: Hardcover. Jacket: Very Good
