This  volume  resurrects  a  literary  treasure  which  has
been  buried  for  many  years  in  the  forgotten  files  of  a
newspaper,  and  it  is,  as  nearly  as  it  has  been  possible  to
make,  an  absolutely  complete  collection  of  the  hitherto
unpublished  poems  of  the  gifted  author.
These  poems  are  the  early  product  of  Field's  genius.
They  breathe  the  spirit  of  Western  life  of  twenty  years  ago.
The  reckless  cowboy,  the  bucking  broncho,  the  hardy
miner,  the  English  tenderfoot,  the  coquettish  belle,  and  all
the  foibles  and  extravagances  of  Western  social  life,  are  de-
picted with  a  naivete  and  satire,  tempered  with  sym-
pathy and  pathos,  which  no  other  writer  could  imitate.
The  book  contains    nearly  three  hundred  pages,   in-
cluding an  interesting    and  valuable  introduction  by  the
editor  y  and  is  printed  from  new  type  on  fine  deckle  edge
paper,  and  handsomely  bound  in  cloth,  with  gilt  tops.
