In Working Cowboy, Margot Liberty and Barry Head present the
oral history of Ray Holmes, a Wyoming cowboy born in 1911. Holmes
has spent his life on horseback, herding cattle and doing other
work with livestock. Since the time he rode his first horse, Holmes
wanted nothing more than to be a cowboy--though his father insisted
he would never make a living at it. The determination that started
him on his dream has stayed with him throughout his life. Holmes
remains a quiet man, averse to bragging but is candid and strongly
opinionated.
Practical chapters, such as "Some Talk about Cowboys" and "Some
Talk about Calves and Calving," alternate with chapters describing
Holmes's colorful life, including his coping with the blizzard of
1959, listening to the very first radio in the neighborhood, and
sleeping with potatoes to keep them from freezing.
