The "fever" carried by the Texas herds was a real problem on the trails where the longhorns came in contact with local cattle.

In 1981 it was afforded the dignity of a hardcover edition by Walker and Company of New York. It's the only Hamilton western I've read (probably because of that hardcover!) and I wish I had the others. Agree, Cullen, with all else you say about this one!Chap O'Keefehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04404176810063857291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3574898998296059114.post-72046471128252572402010-12-07T18:53:59.280-05:002010-12-07T18:53:59.280-05:00Hi Walker,

I have some vintage Gold Medal ads that I've been meaning to scan, as well.<br /><br />And thanks for all your comments on the series! They are very much appreciated. This has been a lot of fun preparing all the books and reviews, so I'm glad to hear other peoples' thoughts on the books as well.Cullen Gallagherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14236957954996740924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3574898998296059114.post-49152656390435943432010-12-07T18:50:58.032-05:002010-12-07T18:50:58.032-05:00I got worried when you took a break to talk about ...I got worried when you took a break to talk about other matters.
