Heading west after a fight with his folks, seventeen-year-old Frank Blake, the great-grandson of frontiersman Whip Holt, finds adventure and danger, while, back in the city, his cousin, Tim Holt, meddles with a feisty suffragette. Original.
Dana Fuller Ross is a pseudonym used by Noel B. Gerson and James M. Reasoner.
Noel Gearson specializes in historical military novels, westerns, and mysteries. He also writes under the pseudonyms, "Dana Fuller Ross.", Anne Marie Burgess; Michael Burgess; Nicholas Gorham; Paul Lewis; Leon Phillips; Donald Clayton Porter; Philip Vail; and Carter A. Vaughan. He has written more than 325 novels.
James Reasoner (pictured) is an American writer. He is the author of more than 150 books and many short stories in a career spanning more than thirty years. Reasoner has used at least nineteen pseudonyms, in addition to his own name: Jim Austin; Peter Danielson; Terrance Duncan; Tom Early; Wesley Ellis; Tabor Evans; Jake Foster; William Grant; Matthew Hart; Livia James; Mike Jameson; Justin Ladd; Jake Logan; Hank Mitchum; Lee Morgan; J.L. Reasoner (with his wife); Dana Fuller Ross; Adam Rutledge; and Jon Sharpe. Since most of Reasoner's books were written as part of various existing Western fiction series, many of his pseudonyms were publishing "house" names that may have been used by other authors who contributed to those series
Frank Blake finally gets his moment to shine. We see what ‘riding the rails’ and tramping is all about plus Tim Holt is ready for love with suffragette Liz. Highly entertaining and a nice glimpse of American living
I hate Frank Blake, a man who goes from a gung-ho extreme to a fake radical extreme without actually learning anything and yet the author always makes him right.
