Frank Among the Rancheros was originally published in 1865 but lived on in reprints for many years to come." ; "Pull him along, Carlos! Pull him along! shouted a young gentleman about sixteen years of age, as he danced about on the back porch of his uncle's house, in a state of great excitement; "why don't you pull him along?" "He'll come, after awhile," replied the person addressed; "but he is very wild and obstinate." The boy on the porch was almost beside himself - so much so, in fact, that he found it utterly impossible to stand still. He was jumping wildly about, swinging his arms around his head, and laughing and shouting at the top of his lungs." ; Contents: A Novel Battle--franks New Home--twelve Thousand Dollars--frank Proves Himself A Hero--the Fight In The Court--the Mysteries Solved--frank Meets A Highwayman--colonel Arthur Vane--arthur Plans Revenge--off For The Mountains--pierre And His Band--a Dinner In The Mountains--more Treachery--the Escape--the Struggle On The Cliff--conclusion ; by Harry Castlemon, author of the Gun-boat series, the Go-ahead series, etc. ; pencilled name on front flyhleaf ; FINE.
