The Madman of the Colorado. A Thrilling Legend of the Southwest. [within:] Beadle’s Frontier Series.
—
Twenty-first title in “Beadle’s Frontier Series” of dime novels first published 1908–1910 as authored by Sandy G.V. Griswold (1834–1891), but here re-issued by Arthur Westbrook c.1912.
The plot involves the Native American Chiricahui Comanche tribe and is set in the Colorado River Valley in the Llano Estacado or Staked Plains region of eastern New Mexico and northwestern Texas.
The somewhat incongruous cover shows what appear to be Kentucky-like frontiersmen with buckskin fringed coats and leggings and a powder horn.
