From the Preface: To travel over the ground where these cattle once grazed in countless numbers and see the domestic kind now driven to the pastures by little children; to see the broad prairies, where formerly a ride of a thousand miles would not reveal a furrow or fence, now checkered over with posts and wires and plowed fields, and the landscape dotted here and there with stacks of wheat, ricks of hay, and farm-houses, makes the old cowboy long to again see the prairies covered with long-horned cattle, picturesque wild horses, and herds of innumerable buffaloes; to once more ride the bucking bronco in pursuit of the wild steer and the fighting maverick; to hear the coyote's howl and the stampede's roar; to inhale the aroma of wild flowers whilst breathing the life-giving air that blows across the free and untrammeled plains, where the sun rises and sets in a halo of glory, where you have that thrilling of the heart, that buoyancy of spirit, that drives away every care and makes you laugh at danger.

Included in this Illustrated Edition of "Circle-Dot" is the original illustration, rejuvenated, and 10 additional, relevant illustrations that are unique to this edition of the book.

M. H. (Milford Hill) Donoho was a cowboy during the period he writes about. These true-to-life stories give a rare insight into life on the western plains.
