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.
