Blurb / Summary

Set against the backdrop of the American frontier, The Invaders is a dramatic tale of land, justice, and the collision between old settlers and new. John Lloyd paints a vivid portrait of the West, exploring the tensions between cattlemen and homesteaders as civilization presses westward.

Illustrated by W. A. Rogers, the book captures the rugged energy and mythos of early 20th-century Americana. This first edition, published by R. F. Fenno & Co. in 1910, is prized for its vibrant cover art and bold design — a classic example of early American decorative publishing. A highly collectable outlaw item.
