{"product_id":"2940014377164","title":"Circle-Dot: A True Story of Cowboy Life Forty Years Ago (Illustrated)","description":"From the Preface:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTo 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e* This e-book is a true representation, from a high-definition scan of a pre-1923 print version of the book. Unlike other e-copies of the book, it was not produced by using Optical Character Recognition (OCR). OCR-scanning old books is seldom, if ever, error-free. This often results in an e-book with many **, ^^, \u0026gt;\u0026gt; and typographic errors when OCR can't read the word or punctuation correctly.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e* \"True representation\" means that if there are typographic, spelling, or grammatical errors that the editor judges to have minimal impact on the book's comprehension, they have been preserved; otherwise, they were corrected.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e* In other words, no changes or as few as possible have been made to either illustrations or text in order to bring you an e-book that is as close to the original as possible.","brand":"Topeka, KS: Crane \u0026 Company, 1907","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47165030400240,"sku":"2940014377164","price":4.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940014377164_p0.jpg?v=1763946236","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940014377164","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
