About this ebook
Casey Ryan drove stagecoaches for twenty years in various places from Montana to Nevada. But we meet him at that awkward time when the automobile was taking over the roads, even the rough tough roads Casey was used to running his team over at full speed. Casey Ryan does everything full speed, you know. But he has a good heart: "I don't suppose Casey Ryan ever started out to do something for himself— something he considered important to his own personal welfare and happiness—without running straight into some other fellow's business and stopping to lend a hand. He says he can't remember being left alone at any time in his life to follow the beckoning finger of his own particular destiny." (Goodreads)
