O. Henry worked on a Texas sheep ranch as a young man, and these tales return to that country of cattle drives, small-town saloons and range romance. A ranch hand married to a cattle queen wants to be master in his own house, a lovesick cowpuncher chases a recipe for pancakes, and the bandit known as the Cisco Kid rides into The Caballero’s Way.
Funny, sentimental and sharply observed, it shows the cattle West through a humourist’s eye. Download the free EPUB.
