About This Item
Dobie, J. Frank from the reminiscences of John Young . As thrilling as any tale of fiction is this real story of the Texas brush range and the first cowboys. It is the story of the land where cattle by tens of thousands were killed on the prairie and where the "Skinning War" was fought. It is the story of the Chisholm Trail up to Abilene and the Platte; of establishing a ranch on the free grass of the Texas Panhandle; of roping elk in Colorado; of trailing Billy the Kid in New Mexico; of the grim lands of the Pecos. And it is the story of John Young, old-time vaquero who was trail driver, hog chaser, sheriff, ranger, hunter of Mexican bandits, horse thief killer, prairie fire fighter, ranch manager, and other things - a man who wanted experience and got it hot. Tan cloth with blue lettering. xvi, 302pp. Frontispiece, line drawings, map endpapers. BASIC TEXAS BOOKS 44 (D). GRAFF 1100. RAMPAGING HERD 696. SIX SCORE 44. Very heavy rubbing with loss along the spine joint, outer edge, extremities, spine.
