Signed, with an inscription on the dedication page by the author: To May Smith / Kindest regards / Bill Carlisle / 6 / 4 / 46" There are two other previous owner's names on the front endpaper, one of which apparently played a part in Bill Carlisle's life as she has notated three pages where she and some other relations are mentioned. Illustrated throughout with both black and white photographs, and also by three full page black and white drawings by Charles M. Russell. The map endpapers were drawn by Clarence Ellsworth. "Bill Carlisle was a cowboy gone wrong! He admits it - Bill is honest - far more honorable than many men who have never been closer to the bars than a traffic citation. To read the story of his life - in plain, unvarnished language - is to understand the tragedy of an orphan, unwanted and unloved. But somewhere in his blood was the iron that forged the Old West - for early in his youth he drifted West to Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, New Mexico and Texas."
