Review

"If all other books on trail-driving were destroyed, a reader could still get a just as authentic conception of trail men, trail work, range cattle, cow horses, and the cow country in general from The Log of a Cowboy." -- J. Frank Dobie

The most significant fictional treatment of the cattle drive alongside Larry McMurtry's "Lonesome Dove." (Richard W. Etulain, in his introduction)

About the Author

Andy Adams (1859–1935) was born to pioneer parents in Indiana, worked in Texas for ten years driving cattle, and settled in Colorado Springs, where he began writing his "real" stories of cowboys in the West.
