This book is part of the TREDITION CLASSICS series. The creators of
this series are united by passion for literature and driven by the
intention of making all public domain books available in printed
format again - worldwide. At tredition we believe that a great book
never goes out of style. Several mostly non-profit literature
projects provide content to tredition. To support their good work,
tredition donates a portion of the proceeds from each sold copy. As
a reader of a TREDITION CLASSICS book, you support our mission to
save many of the amazing works of world literature from oblivion.

While lasting praise is due the faithful station men who, in their
isolation, so often bore the murderous attacks of Indians and
bandits, it is, perhaps, to the riders that the seeker of romance
is most likely to turn. It was the riders' skill and fortitude that
made the operation of the line possible. Both riders and hostlers
shared the same privations, often being reduced to the necessity of
eating wolf meat and drinking foul or brackish water.
