About this title

Synopsis

A True Portrait of the American Cowboy-Not the Hollywood Legend

Long before Hollywood mythologized the Wild West, Philip Ashton Rollins set out to document the real cowboy-the men who herded cattle, broke broncos, and built an American icon with dust-covered boots and rawhide grit.

First published in 1922, The Cowboy is one of the earliest and most respected efforts to preserve the authentic culture, customs, and character of frontier cowboys. Drawing from firsthand observation and interviews, Rollins paints a vivid portrait of daily life on the open range.

Detailed accounts of working cowboy life - from branding and bronco busting to trail drives and campfire meals

Rich insights into cowboy gear, slang, ethics, and independence

Includes chapters on horsemanship, weapons, clothing, and the moral code of the range

"He was simple and direct and brave... and he created an institution that the whole world came to respect." - Philip Ashton Rollins

If you love books like The Log of a Cowboy, Life of a Cowboy, or The Old West, this is your next essential read.
