From acclaimed author and literary genius Edward Abbey comes this classic novel that inspired the motion picture Lonely Are The Brave—a stirring and unforgettable tribute to the American hero and the American West.

The Brave Cowboy is a classic of modern Western literature. It follows Jack Burns, a loner at odds with modern civilization. He rides a feisty chestnut mare across the New West—a once beautiful land now smothered beneath airstrips and superhighways. An "anarchist cowboy," he lives by a personal code of ethics that sets him on a collision course with the keepers of law and order. After a prison breakout plan goes awry, he finds himself and his horse, Whisky, pursued across the desert towards the mountains that lead to Mexico, and to freedom. With local law enforcement, the feds, and the military on their tails, the cowboy and his horse race towards their destiny.

He can be funny and poignant at once" - Publishers Weekly"We are living among punishments and ruins. For those that know this, Edward Abbey s books remain an indispensable solace." - Wendell BerryFrom the Back CoverThe classic novel that inspired the motion picture Lonely Are the Brave-a stirring and unforgettable tribute to the American hero and American West.A classic of modern Western literature, The Brave Cowboy follows Jack Burns, a loner at odds with modern civilization.

He was the author of numerous works of fiction and nonfiction, including the celebrated Desert Solitaire, which decried the waste of America s wilderness, and the novel The Monkey Wrench Gang, the title of which is still in use today to describe groups that purposefully sabotage projects and entities that degrade the environment. Abbey was also one of the country s foremost defenders of the natural environment. He died in 1989.". Seller Inventory # BKZN9780062429964
