The Mucker
by Edgar Rice Burroughs
The adventures of Billy Byrne, a bandit and archer, in the Chicago and San Francisco underworld and his mysterious journey to the unexplored islands of the Pacific Ocean make the thread as strange and bright as Tarzan's famous tales. The woman, "one of whom is high-browed skirts," taught Billy the true meaning of the word "cowardly." And the most surprising thing in the book is the development of the character of these two, which fate brings together in the strangest circumstances.
