The stories contained in this book have been written at odd times and published in the Daily Capital of Topeka, KS. These are not short stories in the accepted definition of that term as denoting a brief tale of fictional character: but many of the sketches have the vivid interest that a good short story awakens. They deal with the rough life of border times and breathe the tense atmosphere of life on the frontier during the turbulent period when desperadoes and gunmen made life difficult for the peaceful settlers of Kansas.
