About this title

Synopsis

First published in 1980, this classic description of the cowboy life by master storyteller John Erickson is now back in print. His observations about the Crown Ranch in particular, and the cowboy lifestyle in general, are filled with humor as well as pathos. Erickson describes the ranch, individual cowboys, roundups, wild cattle, and horses.

About the Author

John R. Erickson, born in Midland, Texas, and raised in the Texas Panhandle town of Perryton, is a fifth-generation Texan with ranching roots back to the 1850s. He graduated from the University of Texas and studied at the Harvard Divinity School, but made his living on horseback while pursuing his writing. His Hank the Cowdog series has become a national favorite. He and his wife run their own ranch and commercial beef cattle operation. A member of the Texas Institute of Letters, Erickson has been profiled in Southern Living, American Cowboy Magazine, and on CBS’s Evening News with Dan Rather. He is the author of seven books in UNT Press’s Western Life Series.

Store Description

Independent bookseller offering books from a carefully maintained private collection assembled over many decades. Each volume has been individually reviewed and accurately described, with attention to condition, edition details, and any markings or wear. The collection has a strong emphasis on military history and technical subjects, including aviation, naval and maritime history, U.S. Navy materials, railroads, armored vehicles and tanks, and related engineering and reference works. Many titles reflect practical use, study, and long-term preservation rather than casual ownership. In addition to listed inventory, I also hold a small selection of original military flight manuals and technical manuals. These are not always listed publicly. If you are seeking a specific aircraft, era, or manual type, you are welcome to contact me with your request. Books are packed carefully and securely, appropriate to their size and value, to ensure safe arrival. Descriptions are written conservatively so buyers know exactly what to expect. Thank you for your interest and for supporting independent booksellers.
