This collection of tales and narratives hearken back to a time when the land was unfenced, grazed on by longhorns, mustangs, deer and antelope. This is not a history in the formal sense, but rather a chronicle of pioneer experiences and stories expressing the imagination of those people who came upon the open range and conquered and fenced it. Dobie wrote this mainly for boys and girls, the inheritors of a vast body of lore about gigantic bears, cattle stampedes, fabulous lost mines and other phenomena characteristic of our land.
