The Story of the Cowboy (Illustrated Edition)

The Story of the Cowboy is not a bare record, but a living picture of a type of person often heroic and always interesting. It is also a picture which shows the sweep and majesty of the plains. The level of detail presented in this book about the cowboy's life is extraordinary. - adapted from Ripley Hitchcock
