Patton, Don

About the author

Don Patton (b.1892) wrote, as far as I am aware, just the one book. It is about the strangely named wild horse Brown Jug.

Finding the book
The book is easy to find in the USA, as it is under its UK titling, Brown Jug.

As Brown Jug
G Routledge & Sons, London, 1935

The wild horse Brown Jug would rather leave a herd of horses than be caught by man. He is, however, tamed by a half Indian wolf trapper, Narcisse. The book is, I think, set in Montana.
