The Log of a Cowboy

A NARRATIVE OF THE OLD TRAIL DAYS... In 1882, a group of cowboys drives a herd of three thousand cattle along the legendary Great Western Cattle Trail from Brownsville, Texas to Montana. The perils and dangers of the trail, along with the cameraderie and beauty experienced by the cowboys is retold in vivid detail. The novel's author, Andy Adams, drew heavily upon his own experience as a cowboy working the Cattle Trail to give the most authentic account of cowboy life found in literature. The age of this book and the time period in which it is set means that some terms and words would not be considered acceptable for the Twenty First Century.
