Copper Streak Trail: Revised and Annotated with Definitions, Historical Context and Photographs

By Eugene Manlove Rhodes

Stanley Mitchell, a recent arrival to the Arizona Territory, from New York, is jailed by claim jumpers accusing him of murder. He depends on old-time cowboy Pete Johnson to come to his rescue. This new version of Copper Streak Trail was transcribed from the 1922 edition published by the Riverside Press of the Houghton Mifflin Co., Cambridge, MA. This book was originally (c)1917 Curtis Publishing Co. and (c) 1922 Eugene Manlove Rhodes. This new version includes: 25 New Photographs In-text definitions of archaic and obscure terms In-text notes on historical context Revised language appropriate for contemporary usage In-text comments on Rhodes' use of people and places in his hometown of Apalachin, NY Stan Mitchell, a New Yorker in Arizona, sought his fortune as a rancher. A spiteful cousin runs off his cattle, knocks down his fences, enlists the help of a crooked banker, and spreads rumors about his fiancée, all to further Stan's ruin. Befriended by old-time cowboy, Peter Johnson, Stanley's fortunes seem to have turned when they lay claim to a rich copper mine. Filing the claim brings on a new set of troubles, when Stanley is thrown in jail. When Pete travels to New York to get help and financing to develop the mine, he too lands in jail. The final race to the claim is classic Rhodes, the "cowboy chronicler," where horses wear out, deserts take their toll, and bad guys have honor codes too.
