This book is a layman's history of nineteenth-century Cimarron country which encompasses southwestern Kansas, southeastern Colorado, and the neutral strip of Oklahoma and Texas Panhandle.

Characters included outlaws, ruffians, buffalo hunters, cowboys, settlers, with eventual cattle ranches and resultant cattle drives. Mr. Chrisman chronicles all of the above and more. The book also includes maps and illustrations in the telling of these life stories. Mr. Chrisman was a journalist/newspaperman from Liberal, Kansas, being the author of other books such as Fifty Years on the Owlhoot Trail, Tales of the Western Heartland, and 1001 Questions About the American West, among others.

As usual, The University of Oklahoma has done an impressive job with the wrap around cover painting and the general quality of this book. Being the satisfied ownere of hundreds of U of Ok books, this one included, both hardcover and trade it is not possible to overpraise the University and its press.

Semper Fi.

They was my first time to order a second hand book and i was very pleased with the condition of the book and the speed in which i received it. I would not be afraid to do it again.
