| Description: | Perhaps adolescent boys have had better reasons to run away from home than young Sammy Moore, but Sammy’s aversion to living with his maiden Aunt Claudia had become almost overwhelming. Still, Sammy might never have run away had he not encountered the tramp who called himself Lefty and his trained bull terrier, Smiler. The appeal that life on the road with these two offers is one of continuous adventure so Sammy heads west. Through an unfortunate change of circumstances, Sammy finds himself as front man for a giant hunchback named Jake and his thugs in engineering a daring bank robbery. Lefty has been left for dead and Sammy is on his own.—Backcover. [Suggest a different description.] |

Author Bio for Faust, Frederick Schiller
Frederick Schiller Faust aka Frank Austin, George Owen Baxter, Walter C Butler, George Challis, Evan Evans, Frederick Faust, John Frederick, Frederick Frost, David Manning, Peter Henry Morland, Max Brand...
Max Brand, one of America's most popular and prolific novelists and author of such enduring works as Destry Rides Again and the Doctor Kildare stories, died on the Italian front in 1944.
“No pulp writer was more prolific than Frederick Faust, who wrote nearly 15 million words under the pen name of Max Brand and seventeen others. He sold all his stories and sometimes wrote complete issues of Western Story Magazine. But Faust's most famous character was not a Western hero but a doctor—Dr. Kildare—who inspired a film of the same name plus fifteen sequels and a television series starring Richard Chamberlain.” (The Incredible Pulps: A Gallery of Fiction Magazine Art, c. 2006, p. 11).
