Synopsis
At age fifteen, Laban Samuel Records (1856-1940), the youngest of twelve children, moved west with his family from Indiana to Kansas. About sixty-six years later, writing in pencil on Big Chief tablets, he remembered this move and his other western experiences through the year 1892, when he settled with his wife and children on the claim he had staked in the Cheyenne-Arapaho Run.
In the intervening years, Laban was a freighter with his brother on the Santa Fe Trail and a cowpuncher in the Dodge City stockyards. He first encountered Indians on the banks of the Verdigris River in southern Kansas, learned the Osage language, and became an agency cook at Pawhuska. Later he worked in the Cherokee Outlet as a line rider for the T-5 and Spade ranches, eventually becoming a foreman.
Because of Laban's firsthand knowledge of people and events, his account adds a new perspective to several infamous episodes. For example, he barely escaped the raid by Dull Knife and other Cheyenne warriors in 1878, and he knew the participants in the Medicine Lodge bank robbery, the Talbot raid at Caldwell, and the Potts-Franklin shootout on the T-5 Ranch.
In addition, Laban recounted many affectionate and often humorous stories about Outlet ranchers such as Maj. Andrew Drumm, Outlet cowpunchers such as Charlie Siringo, Texas trail drivers such as "Shanghai" Pierce, and western writers such as Thomas McNeal of the Medicine Lodge Cresset, Scott Cummings (the "Pilgrim Bard"), and Pawnee Bill. But perhaps most memorable are Laban's stories of everyday cowboy life: herding cattle with his dog Shep, riding his favorite horses, and surviving the rigors encountered by everyone on the western range - tornadoes, rattlesnakes, cold and snow, outlaws, and hard work.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good +. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good +. First Edition. Though I've listed this as an ex-library copy, the book appears to have been donated to a library which decided not to keep it, stamped discarded on the front loose endpage, and sold it in a library sale. It is a book on the "Recollections of Laban S. Records" that were compiled and edited by Ellen Jayne Wheeler, who has signed the book with a "Howdy from Oklahoma!" on the title page. Apparently the book was also a gift from one person to another as there's a "To Karin" notation/message on the page right before the title page. Signed by Author(s). Seller Inventory # 002494
