Description
Copper Streak Trail, by Eugene Manlove Rhodes, is a Western novel of the Arizona desert. Peter Johnson has never been to Silverbell; his own country lies far north, beyond the Gila. Sure of his bearings anyway, he strikes a short cut through the hills, meaning to catch the spur railroad at Redrock and entrain for Tucson.
His horse Midnight does much of the thinking on the page. The horse has held a brisk four-mile walk since three in the morning, thirty-six miles by hot noon, with an hour off at Smith's Wells. He hopes the hill wells run sweet, not alkali, and privately misses the bunch and the soft life of the Forest Reserve pastures. Later talk introduces Boland, a gentleman of few and simple wants who will not work, since that would crowd some worthy person to the wall.
