Beadle's Pocket Library No. 189

1887 · 32 pages

This issue of *Beadle and Adams* weekly contains the opening chapters of "Old Rocky's Boys: Benito, the Young Mustang-Breaker," attributed to Major Sam S. Hall ("Buckskin Sam"), a romantic adventure set in Texas. The narrative follows Benito, a half-American, half-Mexican youth skilled in breaking wild mustangs, as he meets two Eastern gentlemen—Robert Sinclair and Henry Greenway—seeking frontier adventure. They join forces with Old Rocky (William Young), a weathered scout, for an expedition toward the Rio Bravo. The story emphasizes outdoor survival skills, marksmanship, and frontier humor, including a comedic sequence where a stubborn pack-mule causes chaos at camp. Chapter II begins with pranks designed to test the newcomers' mettle in frontier life.
