Similar books by Garland are: Main-Travelled Roads, Prairie Folks, and Other Main-Travelled Roads. Five short stories from this collection were reprinted in Other Main-Travelled Roads:
Detailed Notes.Chapter 2—A Meeting in the Foothills.On Page 82: Barn-yard is hyphenated and split between two lines. On Page 45, barn-yard was hyphenated, and on Page 67, it was not. Since barnyard on Page 67 was part of the same short story as barnyard on Page 82, the spelling without the hyphen took precedence over the hyphenated spelling from A Preacher's Love Story. On Page 84, we changed Ransey to Ramsey in the question: "You don't mean Mr. Ransey?" Chapter 3—A Stop-Over in Tyre.On Page 108: Changed double quotes around Twenty Years to italics in Blaine's "Twenty Years."' This clause is inside a set of double quotes, and this is flagged as an error in our error-checking utilities. On Page 157: Removed period after exclamation point in By jinks! .You don't seem to realize ... When this story was reprinted in Main-Travelled Roads, this extract was written "By jinks! you don't seem to realize ..." Chapter 6—Of Those Who Seek.On Page 223: halfassumed is spelled as one word, without a space or hyphen. We retained the spelling from the book.
