About this Item

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.

About this title

Synopsis

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.

Synopsis

Laban tells stories of everyday cowboy life as he lived it in southern Kansas and Oklahoma in the late 19th century, punctuated by firsthand accounts of Indian raids, bank robberies, and shootouts, and writes evocatively of the open range. Includes b&w photos and maps. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
