The listing, The American Cowboy.... (7-22-2) has ended.

The American Cowboy in Life and Legend by Bart McDowell. National Geographic Society. More than 100 photographs by William Albert Allard and scores of other illustrations Tracing the colorful, sometimes violent, history of the cattle industry from its beginnings in Mexico to the present, you will follow cowpunchers driving their Longhorn herds up famous trails and meet the men who pioneered them. You will sense the terror of stampede, flood, and prairie fire along the way. You will visit outfits at roundup time, observe life in remote line camps on the border of a range, experience rodeo bronc riding, steer wrestling, and calf roping. Written with savvy and humor, it confirms the claim of a trail hand who said he "would know an old cowboy in hell with his hide burnt off. It's the way they stand and walk and talk." 211 page, good condition hardcover w/DJ (Covers have rubbed places and back cover has a small piece missing at bottom.) Copyright 1972.
