{"product_id":"9780486122021","title":"All-Time Favorite Cowboy Stories","description":"A corral of cattle rustlers, outlaws, and other desperadoes ride the range in this bronco-busting anthology of nineteen tales set in the Old West. Spanning the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, the diverse stories prove there's no \"average\" cowboy, but a wide range of rugged individuals. Yet these vividly portrayed characters all seem to possess a sense of freedom, a strong relationship with the land, and a desire to live by their own standards. The result is an action-packed collection that's a feast for anyone smitten by frontier fiction.\u003cbr\u003eThe roundup is an adventurous mix — from genre favorites Zane Grey and Frederic Remington to unexpected contributions from Mark Twain and Theodore Roosevelt. There's a romanticized spin from a female author, a unique viewpoint from a former slave, plus a 1902 story by Owen Wister taken from \u003ci\u003eThe Virginian,\u003c\/i\u003e which molded the future of cowboy novels.  In \"The Caballero's Way\" by O. Henry, the Cisco Kid discovers his lady love has strayed into the arms of a scheming ranger — and concocts a devious plan for revenge. In \"The Trouble Man\" by Eugene Manlove Rhodes, a battle over territory between sheepherders and cattle owners leads to a deadly confrontation. With a short biography of each author, this anthology celebrates the courage and spirit that won the West!","brand":"Dover Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47082967662832,"sku":"9780486122021","price":8.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780486122021_p0.jpg?v=1763708112","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780486122021","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
