Frank Dobie. 1,000 copies were printed." Dobie/Dykes 87: "The edition consisted of 1,000 copies which have been going at a premium in the trade for many years. The book contains five great short stories tied together by a cowman, aforesaid Bates, one of Rhodes' most vivid fictional characters. There are even some cows in these stories and if they seem a mite shadowy, the drouth [sic] described in one of the stories is very real. It also contains all of the Rhodes poems Hutchinson could find, plus a Rhodes bibliography." Lowman 43.
