E. C. Abbott was a cowboy in the great days of the 1870's and
1880's. He came up the trail to Montana from Texas with the
long-horned herds which were to stock the northern ranges; he
punched cows in Montana when there wasn't a fence in the territory;
and he married a daughter of Granville Stuart, the famous early-day
stockman and Montana pioneer. For more than fifty years he was
known to cowmen from Texas to Alberta as "Teddy Blue."
This is his story, as told to Helena Huntington Smith, who says
that the book is "all Teddy Blue. My part was to keep out of the
way and not mess it up by being literary.... Because the cowboy
flourished in the middle of the Victorian age, which is certainly a
funny paradox, no realistic picture of him was ever drawn in his
own day. Here is a self-portrait by a cowboy which is full and
honest." And Teddy Blue himself says, "Other old-timers have told
all about stampedes and swimming rivers and what a terrible time we
had, but they never put in any of the fun, and fun was at least
half of it."
So here it is--the cowboy classic, with the "terrible" times
and the "fun" which have entertained readers everywhere. First
published in 1939, "We Pointed Them North "has been brought back
into print by the University of Oklahoma Press in completely new
format, with drawings by Nick Eggenhofer, and with the full,
original text.

Blizzards, droughts, predators, unpredictable markets, and a host
of other calamities tell the history of the daily struggles of
Western ranching, and perhaps no one has told the story better than
Nannie T. Alderson, a transplanted southern woman who married a
cowboy and found herself in eastern Montana trying to build a
ranching business a one-hundred-mile horse-and-buggy ride from the
nearest town. Unfamiliar with even the most basic household chores,
she soon found herself washing, cooking, riding, cleaning,
branding, and a host of other ranch activities for which her
upbringing had not prepared her. Although Nannie Alderson and her
husband, Walt, would eventually move to Miles City, her story of
the rigors of ranch life serves as the preeminent account of
Montana ranch life and culture. This edition features a foreword
from Nannie's great-grandniece, Jeanie Alderson, who ranches in the
same area.

1885. The doctrine of simplification has many adherents in Russia,
and when, some time ago, it was announced that the author of "War
and Peace" had retired to the country and was leading a life of
frugality and unaffected toil in the cultivation of his estates,
the surprise to his own countrymen could not have been very great.
In this book, he tells us how the decision was formed. He bases his
conclusions on a direct and literal interpretation of the teachings
of Jesus as expressed in the Sermon on the Mount.
