The Log of a Cowboy (National Cowboy Hall of Fame Classic Western Series)16 reviews
Andy Adams

Audio Literature, 1996

Stampedes, Dance Hall Girls, Shootouts... It's All Here - a review of "The Log of a Cowboy"
"The Log of a Cowboy" was published in 1903 and tells the story of a five month long trail drive that took the circle-dot long horns from just a little south of Brownsville up into the Indian territory of the Blackfoot Agency - a 'pasear' of nearly 3000 miles. When I came to this book, I didn't exactly know what to expect. The only other western I had read since childhood was "The ...

The Cowboy Detective (National Cowboy Hall of Fame Classic Western Series)3 reviews
Charles A. Siringo

Audio Literature, 1998

Siringo's Best
Charles Siringo was the real deal, the rare 1870's cowboy who experienced the trail rides of the Wild West, but also felt the need and had the desire to put his experiences in writing. The stories in his books seem to be honest and legit, not inflated or self-indulgent. He was a man of great courage and resoursefulness, and the stories in this book are full of real-life examples. I have read ...
  
  











  



  
Ranch Roping: The Complete Guide to a Classic Cowboy Skill
Buck Brannaman, AJ Mangum

The Lyons Press, 2009

Ranch roping is at the heart of all ranch work, and unlike the rodeo variation of calf roping, the ?vacquero? tradition calls for techniques that result in a skillful and graceful throw and catch. Buck Brannaman, a world-renowned master of the art, describes the essential tools, the partnership between horse and rider (incorporating the Natural Horsemanship approach for which the author is famous), and the mechanics needed to become a successful ...
  
  











  



  
Classic Cowboy Cartoons : From His "Out Our Way" Series
J. R. Williams

Lee Valley Tools, Limited, 2004

Although J.R. Williams died nearly 50 years ago, he was an inspiration for a whole generation of cartoonists who followed him. Williams' cowboy cartoons reflect that down-home humor in a lifestyle that is almost gone.
  
  











  



  
Classic Cowboy Stories: Eighteen Extraordinary Tales of the Old West (Classic)2 reviews
Michael McCoy

The Lyons Press, 2004

Enjoyable Cowboy Stories - both fiction and biography
Michael McCoy has compiled an enjoyable collection of eighteen cowboy tales written in the late 1800s and early 1900s. I had expected Classic Cowboy Stories to be entirely fictional short stories. However, many entries are chapters taken from novels, biographies, and travel writings. McCoy was careful in his choices; these selections function quite effectively as independent stories. There is no ...

Cowboy Poetry Classic Rhymes (Cowboy Poetry Classics)1 review
S. Omar Barker

Cowboy Miner Productions, 1998

Humorous and refreshing, this is a must for any collection.
S. Omar Barker provides a warm, refreshing look at life from the perspective of the Americn cowboy. This book draws you in to the simple world of the old west where the big frustration is "bob" wire, and the simplest pleasures seem mountainous to the cowboys and ranch hands. Barker does a fantastic job.
  
  











  



  
Cowboys (Library of Congress Classics)
Martin W. Sandler

HarperTrophy, 2000

Cowboys are often portrayed as heroes from America's past. However, the real cowboy's life was more than just gunfights and daring escapades. It was also the challenge of a cattle drive or breaking in wild horses. And sometimes at the end of a long day, a cowboy had only his horse for companionship. Yet even today, cowboys continue to personify all that was new and exciting about frontier life. With over one hundred vintage photographs, posters, ...

Rounders 3: The Acclaimed Trilogy of Classic Cowboy Novels1 review
Max Evans

audible.com

Great book
One of the gratest compliments I ever received for my book "Last Buckaroo" came from Publisher's Weekly when they said it was "reminisant of Max Evan's 'The Rounders'" The fact that a 1960's TV series was based on this fast moving, comical novel attests to the fact that I was not the only one that felt it was one of the greatest western books that was ever written. The only sad thing about this ...

Classic Rhymes : Cowboy Poetry1 review
Bruce Kiskaddon, Mason Coggin, ...

Cowboy Miner Productions, 1998

A great collection by the finest cowboy poet of all time.
Many of the poem in this book have been out of print for many years, and I'm glad they've been brought back to light. When you read his poems, you can smell the sage and hear the ring of the bell mare. If I could only keep one book, Kiskaddon's would be the one.
  
  











  



  
Cowboy Songs: 62 Classic Saddle Songs3 reviews

Hal Leonard Corporation, 2005

Very enjoyable and nostaligc.
I am thoroughly enjoying this collection of music. It has good piano accompaniment that isn't too difficult yet neither too simple to play and the melody line is written out to enable one to sing along. It just kind of makes one want to get on a horse and ride "Along the Navaho Trail." I am delighted with all the verses it includes for "The Old Chisolm Trail". And it has a good version of ...
