Nice Firm Clean copy ! Light general wear. With the beautiful bookplate of Edward Shirley Borden showing many people holding hands and reaching the sky. Size: 12mo 6.75 - 7.75'' tall. The story of the West is a story of the time of heroes. Of all those who appear large upon the fading page of that day, none may claim greater stature than the chief figure of the cattle range. Cowboy, cattle man, cow- puncher, it matters not what name others have given him, he has remained - himself. From the half-tropic to the half-arctic country he has ridden, his type, his costume, his characteristics practically unchanged, one of the most dominant and self-sufficient figures in the history of the land. He never dreamed he was a hero, therefore perhaps he was one. He would scoff at monument or record, therefore perhaps he deserves them.
