Telling it like it was
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
Patrick Dearen, a professional journalist and inveterate outdoorsman, writes well and fairly on this unusual subject. He paints a true picture of old time West Texas, its denizens, and of a time now mostly past. This readable account has excellent bibliographic references. The best part is its authenticity and plain entertaining style. It is simply a winner.
Uses actual stories from cowboys before the 1930s
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
SADDLING UP ANYWAY: THE DANGEROUS LIVES OF OLD-TIME COWBOYS uses actual stories from cowboys before the 1930s to blend tales with accounts of heroism and life on the early frontier. A glossary of cowboy language and terminology helps in understanding the accounts, while chapters discuss the duties and lives of the frontier hand. Diane C. Donovan California Bookwatch
