About This Book

A lone Pilgrim crosses a barren Desert of Facts, resisting mirages and haunting phantoms until reaching the threshold between the waste and a vast sea. Along the way the traveler encounters successive voices—the waves, the evening wind, the night, and the new day—that probe perception, feeling, and understanding. These elemental encounters transform the journey from a grind of accumulated facts into a search for deeper truth, culminating in moral clarity, inward renewal, and the quiet discovery of an unacknowledged dignity or authority within the Pilgrim.

WHEN A MAN'S A MAN

Illustrations and Decorations by the Author

When a Man's a Man is a fine, big, wholesome novel of simple sweetness and virile strength. While the pages are crowded with the thrilling incidents that belong to the adventurous life of the unfenced land depicted--Northern Arizona--one feels, always, beneath the surface of the stirring scenes the great, primitive and enduring life forces that the men and women of this story portray. In the Dean, Philip Acton, Patches, Little Billy, Curly Elson, Kitty Reid and Helen Manning the author has created real living, breathing men and women, and we are made to feel and understand that there come to everyone those times when in spite of all, above all and at any cost, a man must be a man.
