This first-hand account of a cowboy brings the Old West to life
authentically and vividly for the modern reader. Written by Andrew
Adams during and after his many years working as a cowboy in the
rugged plains of the southwest USA, this book was first published
in 1903. At the time, the ways of the Wild West were rapidly being
superseded by the unstoppable modern advancement of the United
States. As such, this book may be viewed as a sort of retrospective
upon the 19th century, illustrating a time when the frontier
culture reigned supreme over great tracts of North America. Much of
the book is presented as a story with dialogue, whereby aspects of
the cowboy trade, the geography of the rural West, and landmarks
such as Yellowstone are detailed. We hear accounts of the lives of
the ordinary people; although exciting action abounds throughout
the book, we are shown that most people in the Wild West were
simply making a living in a land untamed by human civilization.
