Abstract

Some Gallant Rogues
Hansen, Harry | March 5, 1924 issue

add to cart   close window

There are two ways of approach to this group of picaresque yarns about half a dozen fellows who broke with the law with a swagger and went to death or distinction or both, with a flourish. The first is to take the book "The Highwayman: A Book of Gallant Rogues," by Charles J. Finger as if it were a new Sabatini, the second is to open the book at the very last chapter, read the original and circumstantial account of one Bill Downer of Tierra del Fuego and throw the rest of the book away with a regret because the author wrote no other chapters like this last.
