Download or read book U Bet written by John R. Barrows and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 1990-03-01 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A voracious reader of dime novels, young John Barrows looked forward to blazing action asøan Indian fighter or scout in Montana Territory. But when he arrived with his parents in the Musselshell Valley in 1879 he saw more sheepmen and cattlemen than Indians or Buffalo Bills. He worked in his father's trading post and soon found in the range cowboy his model of manhood. John Barrows recalls his early career as a cowboy for the DHS outfit in the 1880s in U-bet, often overlooked since its original publication in 1934 but regarded by the cognoscenti as a classic to rival Andy Adam's Log of a Cowboy. A greenhorn's initiation into trail herding, roping, and branding is described with a mastery of language rarely brought to the subject, for Barrows loved books as well as broncobusting. Winters usually found him back at the settlement of Ubet in Judith Gap, where his parents had come to operate a hotel for travelers on the stage line from Billings to Fort Benton. In a few years John Barrows stored a host of impressions of a raw part of the West rapidly changing. Is the reader of his unvarnished reminiscences in for a rousing experience? You bet.
