"In late 1942, the son of an attorney was sweeping a wooden floor of scattered papers and placing them in boxes. The scene was the auction of the effects of Will James following his death at his Smokey Lane Ranch... Half a century later I was fortunate enough to acquire two boxes filled with Will James book galleys, letters, and ephemera...With the publication of this manuscript it will mark the twenty-fifth publication in book form of Will James' clever renditions of the American West..."
Thomas Minckler, from HISTORY segment.
