Only
Story
of the
Cowboy,
The
The
life of
the
cowboy,
through
its very
raciness,
has been
freely
pictured
as the
embodiment
of
license
and
uproarious
iniquity.
If he
were
this the
great
business
which he
has
conducted
on the
plains
would
never
have
grown to
its
imposing
proportions.
The
American
cowboy
is the
most
gallant
representative
of a
human
industry
second
to very
few in
antiquity.
A
typical
figure
of the
country
west of
the
Missouri,
the
cowboy
is fast
receding
into the
shadows
of the
past.
Mr.
Hough
knows
the
western
country
well,
and in
this
book he
has
endeavored
to
preserve
for
future
generations
a
chapter
in
American
history
that is
full of
interest.
It is a
living
picture,
of a
type
often
heroic
and with
an
individual
interest
which
brings
before
us the
sweep
and
majesty
and
splendid
atmosphere
of the
plains.

West
possible.
