Description: Will James was a real cowboy in the early 20th century and writes about life on the open range at that time and the changes brought about by the automobile and the carving up of the open range into large ranches. He didn't like fences. "I was born and raised in cow country. I am a cowboy, and what's put down in these pages is what I've lived, seen and went thru. I rode for the biggest cow & horse outfits from Mexico to Canada. Wherever I went I was on a horse, even in the army, and when I was put in the discard to ride only gentle horses was when I tried my hand at drawing and writing of the things I've lived. It done me a lot of good to see that my work was accepted by the publishers, not so much for what it brought me as for the chance it gave me to show the readers that a cowboy is just as human as any human ever was and how he's being misrepresented by authors who hunted up material by going thru the country on a Pullman afraid to mix in the dust and get the true facts." (Will James) I see no flaws in this book.
