About This Item

Skyhorse Publishing. As New. 2007. Softcover. 1602390819 . As New Trade paperback " Although the American cowboy has long been a favorite subject for novelists, filmmakers, and illustrators, too often the picture they paint bears little relation to reality. Philip Ashton Rollins, who lived in the West on and off between 1892 and 1924, set out to create a more accurate portrait of this enduring icon. Based on what he himself witnessed, this fascinating study discusses what exactly makes a cowboy, as well as cowboy weaponry, clothing, saddles, and equipment; the “cowboy character;” and a cowboy’s work. In addition, Rollins describes the history of ranching in the United States, the raising of horses and cattle, livestock rustling, and more. " ; 8.43 X 5.85 X 0.73 inches; 280 pp pages .

Synopsis

*From the 1922 Edition's preface:* The American cowboy, by reason of his picturesqueness, has been a frequent subject for the dramatist, the novelist, the illustrator, and the motion-picture photographer. All these producers have been limited by the technical requirements of their arts, and have stressed the cowboy's picturesqueness to the exclusion of his other qualities. They have done this so definitely and attractively as to create an ostensible type which rapidly is being accepted by the American public as an accurate portrayal of the now bygone puncher.
