Description
Caroline Lockhart published this western novel with Grosset and Dunlap in New York in February 1911, with illustrations by Gayle Hoskins, and it reached a seventh printing by August of that year. Its hero is Smith, called Me-Smith, and the chapters follow him across alkali hills, saddle-blanket swaps, and a great secret.
Smith makes medicine with the schoolmarm, Cupid wings a deputy sheriff, and a bug-hunter elucidates. Susie's Indian blood, the love medicine of the Sioux, and the murderer of White Antelope all enter the tangle. Mother love and savage passion conflict, as one chapter puts it. Lockhart writes frontier romance with humor and a sharp eye for character.
