"Better than 'Me-Smith'"--that is the word of those who have read this
story of the powerful, quiet, competent Bruce Burt. You recall the humor
of "Me-Smith,"--wait until you read the wise sayings of Uncle Billy and
the weird characters of the Hinds Hotel. You recall some of those
flashing scenes of "Me-Smith"--wait until you read of the blizzard in the
Bitter Roots, of Bruce Burt throwing the Mexican wrestling champion, of
the reckless feat of shooting the Roaring River with the dynamos upon the
rafts, of the day when Bruce Burt almost killed a man who tried to burn
out his power plant,--then you will know what hair-raising adventures
really are. The tale is dramatic from the first great scene in that log
cabin in the mountains when Bruce Burt meets the murderous onslaught of
his insane partner.
