Description
Edgar Rice Burroughs's The Mucker is introduced by its publishing history. The novel ran serially in All-Story Cavalier Weekly under Munsey copyright in 1914, and its sequel, The Return of the Mucker, followed in All-Story Weekly in 1916. A first Ballantine edition of January 1966, printed in New York, supplies the present pages.
Part I opens with Chapter I, Billy Byrne. Billy is a product of Chicago's West Side streets, from Halsted to Robey and Grand Avenue to Lake Street, knowing every bartender by first name. His schooling began in an alley behind a feed store, among pickpockets and second-story men who drank beer from a battered tin pail. At six, Billy was rushing the can for that band, and learning life from them.
