Description
Clarence E. Mulford's Bar-20 Days sends Hopalong Cassidy and Johnny Nelson on a holiday errand. Two tired but happy punchers ride into a coast town and dismount at the best hotel. The marshal makes them hang up their guns with the clerk: this is fence country now. He warns them, smiling, to leave their cash too.
Buck Peters has delegated the mission that brought them from the Bar-20 ranch. Freed of business, the boys sample the town's pleasures as only cowpunchers can. The marshal predicts empty pockets and aching heads within twenty-four hours. Mulford writes the West in dialect, with affection for men smarter than they look. Bar-20 Days is an episodic spree among his Hopalong novels, lighter than the gunfight books and full of bar-room comedy.
