A collection of stories with sure appeal for budding Western addicts, stories of cowboys, cow pony pets, rebels, the ""dogies"", the round-ups, the ranges of Colorado -- men and their relationships to each other and their ways with animals, straight simple values and plenty of bucking and yippeeing. Separate stories for short reading time, and a pleasant young cowboy hero for the long pull. Stephen Payne is an old favorite who has appeared in boys' magazines.
