Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ten Years a Cowboy May be it would have done SO if it had thought Of it, but if so it was evident that the thought had never come to it; the town was not greatly given to thinking, but I do not really believe the reason for its staying was that it never occurred to it that it could go by way of the ferry if it wanted to. Possibly it expected the Wabash to rise high enough some time to take it away and'so save it the trouble ofgoing; I can not say positively as to that. I am inclined to think it stayed because it liked to stay. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Story of the Cowboy Classic Reprint written by Emerson Hough and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-12 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of the Cowboy IN a certain Western city there is the studio of a sculptor whose ambition in life has been to perpetuate the memory of the West. He has sought to put into lasting form the types of that unique and rugged era of our national growth when the soldier and plains man, the Indian and the cowboy were the citizens of that vast and unknown region. In the following out of that idea he has made in clay and bronze many things entitled to be called curious and beautiful. It is the fancy of this artist at times to take some of these forms and play at pictures with them for the entertainment Of his guests. A revolving pedestal is placed in the centre of the room in such way that the light of the fire or of the candles may cast a shadow from it upon the farther wall. Upon the pedestal is placed some figure which appears much magnified upon the white surface beyond, albeit somewhat blurred and softened in its lines. Now it is the likeness of the grizzly bear, now that of the buffalo, while again one sees the lean gray wolf, the tense figure of the flying antelope, or the reaching neck and cut chin of the panther. At one time a mounted Indian may flit upon the wall, or the soldier with sabre and spur. These things, curious and beautiful, form a wild and moving spectacle, coming as they do from a time which may now almost be said to belong to the past.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Book of Cowboys The author is anxious to take this opportunity of expressing his indebtedness to three books (among many others), two of which were published only last year and which are absolutely invaluable to any correct understanding of the cattle days in the West. These are: "The Trail Drivers of Texas," compiled by Geo. W. Saunders and J. Marvin Hunter, published by the Old Trail Drivers' Association in San Antonio, Texas, and the proceeds of which are to be devoted to marking the trail and raising a monument to the memory of the Old Trail Drivers; "Buffalo Bill's Life Story, An Autobiography," published by the Cosmopolitan Book Corporation; and "Ranch Life and the Hunting Trail," by Theodore Roosevelt, published by the Century Co. The first of these is authoritative on the early cattle days in Texas and the Old Trail, the second on Indian fighting and buffalo work in the middle tier of the western States, and the third on later ranch conditions in the Dakotas and in Montana.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Log of a Cowboy: A Narrative of the Old Trail Days Another vivid recollection of those boyhood days in Georgia was the return of my father from the army. The news Of Lee's surrender had reached us, and all of us watched for his coming. Though he was long delayed, when at last he did come rid ing home on a swallow-marked brown mule, he was a conquering hero to us children. We had never owned a horse, and he assured us that the animal was his own, and by turns set us on the tired mule's back. He explained to mother and us children how, though he was an infantryman, he came into possession of the animal. Now, however, with my mature years and knowledge of brands, I regret to state that the mule had not been condemned and was in the U. S. Brand. A story which Priest, The Rebel, once told me throws some light on the matter; he asserted that all good soldiers would steal. Can you take the city of St. Louis? Was asked of General Price. I don't know as I can take it, replied the general to his consulting supe riors, but if you will give me Louisiana troops, I '11 agree to steal it.

And after I had spread everything in apple-pie order, father says: Sit down there, Jacob, and wait on Aleck. Of course it was not the fashion in those days to wait on any colored person. It was the custom for slave holders to curse and maul and beat them if they did not perform so much labor each day, and hardly allow them to have the Sabbath day on which to rest. Of course they were allowed to go 'coon or 'possum hunt. Ing when their day's work was done. You may talk about your good times and your hard times, but the poor Indians had the hardest time of all.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Land Where the Cowboy Grows "Billy" has long been a visitor of mine who did considerable "pestering 'round" in the spring of the year. There would be stretches of time when the "Circle A. H." Ranch wasn't bothered with him, then some morning he would arrive - horse, dog and entire paraphernalia. When he was gone, I would pick up the bits of verse he had left lying about. At last these became so numerous it was decided to put a few of them into book form, and for that reason the following "round-up" was made. I trust that between the lines of these verses you may read the life of one who is not I, but "Billy," a dream-boy of the hills.
