No. 7-as Carpenter, the youngest of seven children, called
himself-was born in Missouri in 1854 and moved west with his
family, first to Kansas, then to the settlements near Pikes Peak,
and finally, in 1872, to Texas with his elder brother. From the
time he made his first cattle drive, he wanted no other life but
that of herding longhorns across the free and flat grasslands of
the West. His schooling was the trail, the campfire, the saddle. In
1900, after a full and active life, he retired to his own ranch
west of the Pecos. As the years passed, he sadly watched the fences
go up and the free range disappear. Thus this book came to be
written from the longing memory of a time-stranded cowman. He tells
his story in the hard-punching, gritty language, direct humor, and
attachment to bald fact and frank opinion that characterize the
true Westerner. Elton Miles has provided an introduction that fills
in the details of Carpenter's life and completes a "vivid picture
of the genuine old-time cowman," as Southwest Review observed.
