A fixup of the Breckenridge Elkins stories from Action stories magazine. A most amusing bunch of tales, and the compiler notes in the introduction that the hardback original of this work is one of the most sought after collectible first editions from America in the 20th century. Elkins is larger than life, edging slightly into Paul Bunyan or Pecos Bill territory, if rather a lot more shooting and breaking of things going on than the more fabulous variety.
