The Log of a Cowboy
A Narrative of the Old Trail Days
""The Log of a Cowboy" is the finest piece of literature that the cattle-country has produced." - Douglas Branch in "The Cowboy and His Interpreters". "If all other books on trail-driving were destroyed, a reader could get an 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. "As a narrative of cowboy life, Andy Adams' book is clearly the real thing. It carries its own certificate of authentic first-hand experience on every page." - Chicago Herald. "Since the movie producers have little regard for actuality, we must look to literature to preserve the truth of the cattle trail era for us... Andy Adams did it excellently well when he wrote "The Log of a Cowboy". Adams spent twelve years in the saddle in Texas. He began writing when broke after seeing a ludicrous and false depiction of cattle-range life... "The Log of a Cowboy" is the work of a realist." - "The New Republic".
