"This was Morgan's first full-scale book. Though others contributed to the work Morgan did such significant editing and rewriting before publication that much of the work is defacto his own. It had the well deserved reputation of being one of the best volumes in the Series." - Saunders 13. Scharf/Schoyer 598. Powell 1500. Herd 56. Six Guns 48.
