BOSTON TRANSCRIPT
The author's work is familiarly and pleasantly known to magazine readers
for the realistic details of Western railroad life, which give them a
dashing, vital movement, though they are often highly romantic. The
romantic in them, however, seems very human--indeed, there is a ring of
true feeling in these little tales.
BROOKLYN DAILY EAGLE
Mr. Warman's work has about it the merit of a genuine realism, and it is
as full of romance and adventure as the most exacting reader could
desire. It is a volume of sketches that is well worth reading, not only
because they are well written and full of action, but for the pictures
they give of a life that the world really knows very little about.
PHILADELPHIA PRESS
The poet appears in the descriptive passages, and there is a melodious
rhythm to his prose style that is pleasurable in a high degree. Mr.
Warman has a field of his own, and he is master of it.

REVIEW OF REVIEWS
Nobody knows his frontier life better than Mr. Warman, and his yarns of
Indians, striking miners, cowboys, half-breeds, and railroad men, are
full of vivid reality. There is plenty of romance and excitement in this
score of stories.
THE CHURCHMAN
Eighteen tales which certainly are excellent in their kind, quick,
breezy, full of the local color, yet with delightful touches of
universal humanity.
CINCINNATI COMMERCIAL TRIBUNE
They are honest little chapters of life simply written, an effective
word of slang stuck in here and there where it does not seem at all out
of place; honest, open-hearted, steady-eyed narratives all, with the
breeze of the Western prairies in every line, as well as the brotherhood
of man, and his triumphs and his failures impressing themselves upon you
at every turn.
