This edition includes a modern introduction and a list of suggested further reading.
Told with campfire-story spirit, The Log of a Cowboy is of the best tales of the cowboy life ever written. Drawing from his own life as a cattle driver, Andy Adams recounts the adventures of America’s frontier. Through such memorable characters as Bill Blades and Bull Durham, we become witness to gunfights, buffalo stampedes, and cattle drives from Texas to Montana.
