Bill was born out west and shipped east with others from his ranch to be sold at auction.

George is recovering from an illness, and has not been told he can ride Bill yet, but then again he has not been told he can¿t. He secretly teaches himself to ride, which comes in handy the day he has to ride for help when there is a fire.. Illus. by Brown, Paul. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. 1st. Hardcover. Very Good/No Jacket.
