Synopsis

Dear Folks,

Here's a long story for you with no names to speak of--so, you won't be bothered by the names of the creeks and cow camps you might never heard of--and of riders you wouldn't know--but if you have been in the cow country and are acquainted with the lay of it--you'll have a lot of fun recognizing the spots where I drifted thru. If you don't know the cow country I think you'll like to come out and get lost in it for a spell. You'll know it by the time you ride with me through these pages--the whole West from the far north to the south.

There's more than plain riding and covering territory in this story...

...Here's a gentle horse for you. Climb on and follow me.

Will James

Review

This first appeared in 1930 as James' life story, following the author's evolution from boy to cowboy to artist and writer. The reprint will offer new audiences a spirited ble nd of fiction and autobiography as James traces the early influences which marked his life - half of which have proved fictional, but which are absorbing and realistic nonetheless. -- Midwest Book Review
