The Cowboy
Excerpt from The Cowboy: His Characteristics, His Equipment, and His Part in the Development of the West The American cowboy, by reason of his picturesqueness, has been a frequent subject for the dramatist, the novelist, the illustrator, and the motion-picture photographer. All these producers have been limited by the technical requirements of their arts, and have stressed the cowboy's picturesqueness to the exclusion of his other qualities. They have done this so definitely and attractively as to create an ostensible type which rapidly is being accepted by the American public as an accurate portrait of the now bygone puncher. The portrait is often charmingly presented, but it is not accurat...

The Story of the Cowboy
This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1897 edition. Excerpt: ...bit of " porterhouse" steak, cut thick, is placed between two steaks of similar size and excellence, and the whole buried under a bed of hot coals. In this way the middle steak retains all the juices of its double envelope, and offers a morsel which might well be appreciated by a man less hungry or more particular than the tired cowpuncher. A pound or so of beef, with some tinned vegetables, taken with a quart or so of coffee, and the cowpuncher is ready to hunt his bla...

The Story of the Cowboy (Classic Reprint)
Excerpt from The Story of the Cowboy Like everything peculiarly distinctive, the life of the cowboy through its very raciness has lent itself to literary abuse, and the cowboy has been freely pictured by indolent and unscrupulous pens as an embodiment of license and uproarious iniquity. If he were only this, the great business which he has conducted on the plains could never have grown to its imposing proportions. With the cowboy, as with the Indian, it is essential to disabuse ourselves of illusions. Picturesque the cowboy assuredly is, easily superior, so far as effectiveness is concerned, to the guacho of South America and, from an Anglo-Saxon point of view, to the bedizened vaquero of Me...

Ten Years a Cowboy (Classic Reprint)
Excerpt from Ten Years a Cowboy May be it would have done SO if it had thought Of it, but if so it was evident that the thought had never come to it; the town was not greatly given to thinking, but I do not really believe the reason for its staying was that it never occurred to it that it could go by way of the ferry if it wanted to. Possibly it expected the Wabash to rise high enough some time to take it away and'so save it the trouble ofgoing; I can not say positively as to that. I am inclined to think it stayed because it liked to stay. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
