Synopsis

John Quincy Adams Taylor was a young cowboy in Texas in the 1870's. He became a leader on long cattle drives up the Chisholm trail. These experiences were more complex and dramatic than is generally understood. John dictated these experiences - as well as his later years raising a young family - to his oldest daughter, Edith, in the winter of 1938 to 1939. In the 1970's Edith transcribed her handwritten materials to typewritten form and privately published the resulting book as "Talking Guns". Two of John's great-grandsons, Francis R. Jones, and Rondall E. Jones, have prepared these inherited materials for modern publication while maintaining the full integrity of the original dramatic stories. Herein are rare and authentic glimpses into the cowboy experience in Texas and on the Chisholm Trail in the last quarter of the 19th Century. Reading them may be the closest thing to a first-hand experience of that era that the reader can have.
