A first hand account of the days of the Great Cattle Trails
The term 'cowboy' has become emblematic of all that is evocative of
the 'frontier America' of the nineteenth century. Yet the real
cowboys were actually a select group whose unglamorous task it was
to move the great herds of cattle from their grazing ranges to the
rail-heads and tables of a hungry and ever growing population. They
endured rough country, all the weather that nature could hurl at
them and the danger of attack by bandits and Indians. This book was
written by one of their number and within its pages he has brought
to life the days of the Wild West and the great cattle drives.
Displaced from their Georgia home after the Civil War the author's
family moved to Texas and so began this cowboy's intimate
acquaintance with moving beef on the hoof along the long, dangerous
and dusty trail to the north. The adventures, sights and
experiences of this vanished way of life make essential and vital
reading for all those fascinated by the great days of the early
frontier. Available in softcover and hardcover with dust jacket.
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
