This builds on a theme begun with \u003ci\u003eGuy Rivers\u003c\/i\u003e and\u003ci\u003e Richard Hurdis\u003c\/i\u003e, but \u003ci\u003eBorder Beagles\u003c\/i\u003e saw Simms decidedly scaling back the violence found in those two books, especially the latter. Here, the author's presentation of the chaos and dangers of the frontier is tempered by humor, with over-the-top backwoodsmen, vicious outlaws, and sundry grotesques coming into conflict with a civilized tidewater gentleman in an adventure that often borders on the slapstick.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e William Gilmore Simms\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1611175836\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781611175837\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of South Carolina Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/01\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 532\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.71lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 1.19d","brand":"William Gilmore Simms","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48485661081855,"sku":"9781611175837","price":41.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1fbc1e4a-6c3a-47fd-a936-406921c49f65.jpg?v=1778050718","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/border-beagles-william-gilmore-simms-9781611175837","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
