Straightforwardly told, rich in detail, and laced with appealing
campfire humor, Andy Adams's realistic The Log of a Cowboy is a
classic portrayal of the western cattle country. Drawing on his own
experiences as a cowboy working in cattle and horse drives, Adams
presents a vivid portrait of the challenges of trail life on a
cattle drive from Texas to Montana--the daily drudgery of cattle
trailing, as well as the dramatic stampedes and other treacherous
disruptions. Populated by a wide variety of well-drawn, lively
characters, The Log of a Cowboy remains the landmark novel of the
American West a century after its first appearance. This is the
first edition of this work published as a Penguin Classic. For more
than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of
classic literature in the English-speaking world. With more than
1,700 titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the
best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines.
Readers trust the series to provide authoritative texts enhanced by
introductions and notes by distinguished scholars and contemporary
authors, as well as up-to-date translations by award-winning
translators.
