In one story by this author, the midnight ride of Dick Bullen to deliver toys to the Old Man's son ends successfully, but with Dick collapsing, while in another, Uncle Billy and Miss Pinkey both spend time as the companion of Bones, the title character.
In one story by this author, the midnight ride of Dick Bullen to deliver toys to the Old Man's son ends successfully, but with Dick collapsing, while in another, Uncle Billy and Miss Pinkey both spend time as the companion of Bones, the title character. In addition to How Santa Claus Came to Simpson's Bar and A Yellow Dog, this author wrote of a title woman who keeps a magpie Polly, a bear Joaquin, and an invalid Jim, all of whom are met by travelers in need of shelter in Miggles. The supposedly stupid Chinese man Ah Sin cheats the title character and Bill Nye in euchre in this man's poem "Plain Language from Truthful James." Another title character interrupts a trial by trying to give a carpetbag filled with gold to Judge Lynch, and later holds a funeral for his friend. For 10 points, name this author of Tennessee's Partner, who also wrote about some gamblers led by John Oakhurst and a child of Cherokee Sal in The Outcasts of Poker Flat and The Luck of Roaring Camp.
