520			_aThis collection contains many of Giff Cheshire's best stories, all bearing the distinctive stamp of authentic and colourfully portrayed background, vivid characters, and gripping drama. The Bad Year and Man Breaker are moving tales of the hardships faced by small back-country ranchers. The Road to Jericho is a variation on the theme of a wagon train plagued by Indians, and Stagecoach Pass is an elemental account of a driver's struggles to save his passengers when his coach is caught in a blizzard. In A Mug at Charley's, a retired steamboat fireman and engineer makes the most of his last chance to fulfil a lifelong dream. And Whistle on the River, one of Cheshire's best, tells of steamboat builders on the Columbia. Many more stories round out this rich, diverse cross-section of frontier life.
