MONTANA, HER I BE! by Dan Cushman New York: The Macmillan Company, 1950. First edition, first printing. Publisher's "First printing" statement to the copyright page. Contains original lyrics to several saddle and campfire songs by Cushman. Cushman, most famous for his film adapted novel STAY AWAY JOE, draws on his own experiences and on the yarns old-timers told him during his early days drifting in the Montana mountains, working for cattle outfits and metal mines, and doing his own prospecting and assayer work. Western script-writer with several of his books adapted for film, and winner of the Golden Spur Award, Cushman spins a great western homespun adventure tale, set in Montana, featuring a frontier Robin Hood named Comanche John.
