Baber as told by BILL WALKERILLUSTRATED WITH PHOTOGRAPHSTHE CAXTON PRINTERS, LTD. Caldwell, Idaho 1952COPYRIGHT 1952 BY THE CAXTON PRINTERS, LTD223 pages Dust jacket has been clipped and part glued inside first end page - quote from clipping: Bill Walker talks like he thinks and he thinks in a purely original manner. Many a fascinated dude has listened to the stories of the last of the old cow hands, storytellers of Bill Walker's stripe, and marveled at the vivid, gnarled, chewed-up and chewed-down words which came out of their mouths, and the way these words could draw an unforgettable pic- ture. They yearn to hear more, but this privilege is usually limited to the few who listen around the campfire, or find an old-timer in a mellow mood. One who greatly admires the spirit of the true pioneer is Daisy F. Baber. In INJUN SUMMER she has managed to preserve the full flavor of Walker's picturesque speech by setting it down in just he way in which he told it. Looking along the back trails of the Southwest's early frontier days with Bill Walk- er is an experience most of us will sincerely relish in the new contribution to Western Americana by Daisy Baber. A rovin' cowboy, bull- whacker, fiddler, Walker "dragged a long loop." He knew everybody from Cala- mity Jane to Billy the Kid. He liked to live a carefree, happy- go-lucky existence, with little thought for the morrow. This was true even after his mar- riage, for his wife accompa- nied him in his roving life. This cheerful version of a West that lives only in mem- ory is distinguished by wry humor, and the charm of Western vernacular in its most arresting and refresh- ing form. It is authentic Americana at its best.
