Francis Lynde (1856-1930) was a prolific writer, with short fiction appearing in magazines like Munsey’s as early as 1894. A decade later, he began a long relationship with The Popular Magazine.
By 1910 when The Taming of Red Butte Western was published by Scribner’s, he’d already published six novels, plus a couple dozen titles in the magazines. In later years, three of his stories would find their way to film.
An exceedingly bright and vivacious love-story, set upon the railroad, and marked by a thorough grasp of all the intricacies involved in the life of a railroad man.
