Download or read book The Cowboy written by Blake Allmendinger and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1992 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What are the connections between cattle branding and Christian salvation, between livestock castration and square dancing, between rustling and the making of spurs and horsehair bridles in prison, between children's coloring books and cowboy poetry as it is practiced today? The Cowboy usesliterary, historical, folkloric, and pop cultural sources to document ways in which cowboys address religion, gender, economics, and literature. Arguing that cowboys are defined by the work they do, Allmendinger sets out in each chapter to investigate one form of labor (such as branding, castration,or rustling) that cowboys perform in their "work culture." He then looks at early oral poems that cowboys recited around campfires, on trail drives, at roundups, and at home in their bunkhouses, and at later poems, histories and autobiographies written by cowboys--most of which have never beforebeen studied by scholars. He discovers that these texts not only deal with work but with larger concerns, including art, morality, spirituality, and male sexuality. In addition to spotlighting little-known texts, art, and archival sources, The Cowboy examines the works of Twain, Steinbeck, Cather,Norris, Dana, McMurtry, and others, and features more than 60 historic photographs, many of which have not been published until now.

Download or read book Just One More Dance written by Carole Howard and published by Carole a Howard. This book was released on 1989 with total page 69 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: JUST ONE MORE DANCE, by Carole Howard, is the first research book done on the old time Western square dance fillers in the past 40 years. She has compiled the most famous to the most objectionable in a book not only valuable to the square dance caller, but to any student of Americana. It is a veritable window into our past with mentions of the "dogies, pards, fillies, etc.", rhymed in the always-entertaining cowboy couplet style. "Possum on a fence ... cowboys circlin' on the old cowhide ... big pig rootin' up a little 'tater row ... rattle snakes rattlin' & the coyotes call" ... are but a few of the images recalled. The book is literally a synthesis, menu-style, of the varieties of patter available to the caller. It also shows the couplets that demonstrated their creativity as well as the prejudices & social views of that era. This bit of America & dance culture must not be forgotten, for the art of the cowboy-caller-poet is gone. This book is an appropriate & historically significant addition to the libraries of folklorists, dance callers, leaders & teachers & Western Americana scholars.
