CAPTIVES OF THE DESERT

Serialized in 1925-26 an Desert Bound this takes care of the marriage of a good Woman to a Bad Man and the obstacles to her love for a Good Man. Wilbur is No good and Mary really loves John Curry and they all Suffer until The Clouds Roll By -- Arizona -- while the author pulpitizen, on liquor, morals, marriage, etc. In spite of such a cavalier briefing, the scenery here is pretty grand, the story solid, the Indian customs and trading post life authentic -- and the characters and situations of greater lity than other Western creations of this period.
