The Fighting Fool: A Tale Of The Western Frontier is a novel written by Dane Coolidge and first published in 1918. The book is set in the American West during the late 19th century and tells the story of a man named Tom Lorrigan, who is known as ''The Fighting Fool'' for his quick temper and willingness to fight at the slightest provocation.Tom is a cowboy and a skilled horseman who works on a ranch in Arizona. He is a tough and independent man who lives by his own code of honor and is not afraid to stand up for what he believes in. However, his reputation as a troublemaker often gets him into trouble, and he finds himself in a series of dangerous situations as he tries to navigate the rough and tumble world of the Wild West.Throughout the book, Tom faces a number of challenges, including run-ins with outlaws, conflicts with other cowboys, and a romantic entanglement with a beautiful woman named Ruth. As he struggles to survive in this harsh and unforgiving environment, Tom must also confront his own inner demons and come to terms with his past mistakes.The Fighting Fool is a classic Western novel that captures the spirit of the American frontier and the rugged individualism of the men and women who lived there. With its vivid descriptions of life in the Old West and its compelling characters, this book is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of the American West or the genre of Western literature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
