No Field Collection is CompleteWithout this Book
A LITTLE BOOKofTRIBUNE VERSE
ByEUGENE FIELD
Compiled and edited byJoseph G. Brown, formerly city editor of theDenver Tribune, and an intimate friend and associate of the poet during the several years in which he was on the staff of that paper.
This volume resurrects a literary treasure which has been buried for many years in the forgotten files of a newspaper, and it is, as nearly as it has been possible to make, an absolutely complete collection of the hitherto unpublished poems of the gifted author.
These poems are the early products of Field's genius. They breathe the spirit of Western life of twenty years ago. The reckless cowboy, the bucking broncho, the hardy miner, the English tenderfoot, the coquettish belle, and all the foibles and extravagances of Western social life, are depicted with a naivete and satire, tempered with sympathy and pathos, which no other writer could imitate.
The book contains nearly three hundred pages, including an interesting and valuable introduction by the editor, and is printed from new type on fine deckle edge paper, and handsomely bound in cloth, with gilt tops.
