Anotace knihy

"From spur-leathers to bedrolls, from drinking habits to dance steps, Mr. Adams has set down what the cowboy used, why he used it and how...The net result is a peculiar combination of saddle catalogue, folklore treatise and sociological dissertation, adequately illuminated with sunbursts of salty humor, the cow-country hallmark, and distinguished by the depth of Mr. Adams' lifelong researches". (W. H. Hutchinson, San Francisco Chronicle). "Encyclopedic in its coverage of the subject". (Library Journal). The American cowboy emerges from these pages as a recognizable human being with little resemblance to the picturesque inventions of the horse opera. Ramon F. Adams, a highly respected authority on the old West, talks straight about what the cowhand really did and thought. His cow-punching, broncobusting, trail driving; his rodeo riding, poker playing, socializing; his horse, guns, rope, clothing, sleeping bag; his eating and drinking habits; his attitude toward God, women, bosses; his unwritten code of conduct - everything about this vanished breed is told with absorbing authenticity, in the rich and varied lingo of the range.
