...mayor and his subordinates proceed to stuff their inspector with food, drink, and money. He, soon guessing the truth, is delighted.

Though she lived and wrote in Greenwich Village for the past 20 years, Mari Sandoz knew much of the Plains firsthand, as a Nebraska sod-buster's daughter in the 1900s who had "seen the settler-cattlemen fights" and been wounded twice herself. In later years, she was forever "tearing around on horseback and climbing the Pecos," digging behind legends of Indian wars, gamblers and lawmen for the tales she wove into a score of chronicles (Old Jules, Slogum House) whose gritty realism never...
