Revue de presse

"If all other books on trail-driving were destroyed, a reader could still get a just as 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

The most significant fictional treatment of the cattle drive alongside Larry McMurtry's "Lonesome Dove." (Richard W. Etulain, in his introduction) --Richard W. Etulain, in his introduction

Présentation de l'éditeur

The most authentic account of cowboy life ever written, this compelling narrative traces the events of an 1882 cattle drive, during which 3,000 longhorns traversed the Great Western Cattle Trail from Brownsville, Texas, to Montana. Real-life cowboy Andy Adams based the story on his firsthand experiences, publishing it in 1903 to refute popular but unrealistic tales, ultimately providing a great historical resource.
