About this title

Synopsis

The subtitle of this book "The Facets of a Cowboy... Reflected by Poetry" is very telling. The poems are written from the perspective of a cowboy who worked the range for a long time. Some seem to take you back to the days when cattle and brush were all you'd see for weeks or months at a time while others remind of the the cowpoke you saw in the grocery store yesterday. A different look at what it is to be a cowboy. This book is beautifully illustrated with pen and ink sketches that bring home the feel of old-time cowboys.
