This antiquarian book contains a collection of short stories that together form a novel. It is a romance novel in a Western setting, with the story unravelling in the open range and within the frontier towns of Wyoming in the 1880s. Although the narrative is primarily a portrayal of an admirable young man, the story revolves around his attempts at winning the hands of two young women, both of whom eventually betray him. The chapters of this book include: 'Variety, You Bet!', 'How Lin Went East', 'Home to the Sage-Bush', 'The New Girl', 'The Winning of the Biscuit-Shooter', 'Honey-Moon Lin', 'You Sage-Bush Bigamist!', 'In Search of Christmas', 'Santa-Claus Lin', 'Young Responsibility', 'The True Girl', and more. We are republishing this antiquarian book now in an affordable, modern edition complete with a new prefatory biography of the author.
