Great  WENDELL GALLOWAY COVER.   Promotional release tied to the 1930 film version with Richard Arlen and Mary Brian, the first sound version of this film loosely based on the Zane Grey novel.  Oddly, the silent version had been released in 1925,  but the Grosset promotion here appears to anticipate the 1930 movie.

Out under the wonderful western stars, near the Mexican border of the 20th century, most of the action in this thrilling story takes place. A New York society girl buys a ranch which becomes the center of frontier warfare along a turbulent Mexican border. Her loyal cowboys defend her property from bandits, and her superintendent, whose first meeting with her brought about astonishing results, rescues her when she is captured by them. "Majesty," as her cowboys lovingly call her, repays this debt in full when he is sentenced to death by Mexican rebels.
