A Stirring Tale of the Plains
THE RAINBOW CHASERS
By JOHN H. WHITSON
Author of "Barbara, A Woman of the West"
Full of the atmosphere of the West, with Dick Brewster, alias JacksonBlake, cowboy, land speculator, and lover, for its hero, Mr. Whitson'snew novel, without being in the least a copy, has many of theattractions of Mr. Wister's hero, "The Virginian."
"The Rainbow Chasers" is a virile American novel with its principalscenes laid in Western Kansas during the land boom of '85. The malecharacters are vigorous men, with red blood in their veins; and theheroine, Elinor Spencer, is a high-spirited but lovable Western girl.
The Brooklyn Eagle says:--
"It is a picturesque narrative, striking in its portrayal ofconditions that have vanished. It is one of those works of fictionwhich, like 'The Virginian,' deserve to rank as books of social andeconomic history, because of the picturing of conditions, vital whilethey existed, that have passed away."
