"These is some a them stories what is wrote to be read out loud. And some of what is in here, just don't make no sense except for if you got a sprig a alfalfa a hanging twixt your teeth, a pair a worn down Cowboy boots on your feet, and the smell of leather or horses somewhere near by." Excerpts: Chapter 1 "Nose" " none of us ever asked him what he used to be called since it was a pretty sore subject for him to talk about." Chapter 4 "Dying For Your Beliefs" " the West wasn't nothing but brave men and stalwart women out there a taming the untamed why this wasn't no more based on fact than a buffalo can fly." Chapter 6 "Scratching Out a Living" "Real Cowboys were a might bashful and didn't speak up unless they was spoke to." Chapter 7 "Cowboys are Thinkers" "The actual thing of it is, that a Cowboy is one of God's few creatures what spends most of his life just sitting and thinking." Chapter 10 "Promises of Partners" "Well, a Cowboy's promise, like these partners had made each other to meet again, was always meant sincere, and for that it was trusted." Chapter 11 "God's Pay" "It's times like these when a Cowboy kind of figures God Hisself just needs some entertaining." Chapter 12 "Hop'n and Poke'n" "Cowboy'n is a profession what ain't appreciated for its value unless you been one."

Roping a buffalo, running off cattle rustlers, sitting out a winter storm in a cave-adventures like these were all part of everyday life for the cowboy. They're depicted here in stories that have stood the test of time, by writers whose words are just as funny and wise today as they were one hundred years ago. Covering all corners of the great Western expanse-from Montana to Mexico, California to the Mississippi-the stories in this collection represent not just the Anglo male perspective but also that of the blacks, Mexicans, and women who made their lives on the range. It features works by Owen Wister, Theodore Roosevelt, Frederic Remington, Isabella L. Bird, Nat Love, Bill Nye, Charlie Siringo, Zane Grey, Andy Adams, Mark Twain, E. Mulford, O. Henry (creator of the Cisco Kid), and many others, including some surprises by little-known authors.
