Log of a Cowboy A Narrative of the Old Trail Days

"The Log of a Cowboy is the finest piece of literature that the cattle-country has produced."--Douglas Branch in The Cowboy and His Interpreters"If all other books on trail-driving were destroyed, a reader could get an authentic conception of trail men, trail work, range cattle, cow horses, and the cow country in general from The Log of a Cowboy."-J. Frank Dobie"As a narrative of cowboy life, Andy Adams' book is clearly the real thing. It carries its own certificate of authentic first-hand experience on every page."--Chicago Herald"Since the movie producers have little regard for actuality, we must look to literature to preserve the truth of the cattle trail era for us. . . . Andy Adams did it excellently well when he wrote The Log of a Cowboy. Adams spent twelve years in the saddle in Texas. He began writing when broke after seeing a ludicrous and false depiction of cattle-range life. . . . The Log of a Cowboy is the work of a realist."--The New RepublicAdams, Andy is the author of 'Log of a Cowboy A Narrative of the Old Trail Days' with ISBN 9780803250000 and ISBN 0803250002.
