Synopsis

When I first found employment with Lance Lovelace, a Texas cowman, I had not yet attained my majority, while he was over sixty. Though not a native of Texas, "Uncle Lance" was entitled to be classed among its pioneers, his parents having emigrated from Tennessee along with a party of Stephen F. Austin's colonists in 1821. The colony with which his people reached the state landed at Quintana, at the mouth of the Brazos River, and shared the various hardships that befell all the early Texan settlers, moving inland later to a more healthy locality.

A propos du livre

About the Author

Andy Adams (1859 - 1935) grew up around cattle and horses on an Indiana farm. While in his twenties, he traveled to Texas where he began a new life as a cowboy. He “cowboyed” on ranches and trail drives for the next decade. In 1903 he published his most successful book, THE LOG OF A COWBOY, a story based on his experience on the trail from Texas to Montana. That novel, along with A TEXAS MATCHMAKER, THE OUTLET, and others are still available and are held in high regard for their authenticity and detail about the true nature of cowboy life.
