These are the recollections of Laban Samuel Records, the youngest of 12 children, who, with his family, moved from Indiana to Kansas. Laban became a freighter on the Santa Fe trail and a cowpuncher in the Dodge City stockyards, as well as a line rider for the T-5 and Spade ranches.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good +. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good +. First Edition. Though I've listed this as an ex-library copy, the book appears to have been donated to a library which decided not to keep it, stamped discarded on the front loose endpage, and sold it in a library sale. It is a book on the "Recollections of Laban S. Records" that were compiled and edited by Ellen Jayne Wheeler, who has signed the book with a "Howdy from Oklahoma!" on the title page. Apparently the book was also a gift from one person to another as there's a "To Karin" notation/message on the page right before the title page. Signed by Author(s). Seller Inventory # 002494
