“Bronto wasn’t much of a horse. At least that’s what everybody thought till Bill came. He was small and brown and not much to look at.... He just wasn’t any use, and Bronto knew this and was unhappy.... Then Bill came. He didn’t look like much either. Just thin and pale and sandy-haired....” And feeling lonely and lost on his arrival at the ranch on the great Dobie flats—his new home. So it was only natural that Bill and Bronto should become friends. It didn’t happen all of a sudden, but Bill was persistent and, must to the surprise of the cow hands on the ranch, he won Bronto’s heart completely. After he learned to ride Bronto, Bill began to dream dreams of Bronto and himself becoming famous as the finest cowpunching team in the country. But that couldn’t happen all of a sudden either, it seemed. There was much to learn, and it didn’t help any that the cowboys refused to take either Bill or Bronto seriously, but Bill and Bronto remedied that. Every boy and girl who ever dreamed of having his own horse or of becoming a cowboy will be intrigued with their adventures. This is a horse story beginning readers can read themselves, it is simply and amusingly told and illustrated throughout with the author’s own black-and-white drawings.
