  rating: 4 of 5 stars<br/>This was really fun escape from reality. My copy was printed in 1929. I don't know if it is currently in print or if anything by this author is now. I'd love to read more of him, and this type of "trash" literature/ "pulp fiction." I got it when an old lady moved out from across the street. I saw the family boxing and moving stuff one summer, so I offered them to join my garage sale I was planning. They said, "please, just take this stuff and sell it yourself, we really don't want to deal with it. Our mom has been living here forever and is getting too old to deal with another Tahoe winter, so we're relocating her to Carson."  Wow, that lady had alot of cool stuff. That garage sale was a great experience in giving/sharing. I'll have to elaborate on it in a future blog. I gave 1/2 the proceeds to my favorite charity, Heifer.org. 
<br/>   If you like this book, I recomend the author (Robert?)Mitchner. He wrote around the same time, and something about the style and characters reminds me of what I've read of him. "The fires of Spring" and "the Drifters" are 2 of my favorite all time books. Reading Mitchner is an easy history lesson--"historic novels" I guess is his genre.

For a list of all of Howard Pease books:

Most of them are out of print and you will need to find them used.
