Download The Log of a Cowboy: A Narrative of the Old Trail Days AudioBook Free
The Log of a Cowboy was written in response to the unrealistic western adventures being written in the early 20th century. Adams wrote extensively about cowmen and the cattle business. His stories produce an authenticity of detail and style that sets them apart. Having spent 12 years in the saddle, Adams can provide a compelling first-hand account about cowboy life and a cattle drive he made from Texas to the Blackfeet Agency in his early 20s. His "log" is a vintage and real description of trail men and their work, cow horses and range cattle. The Log of a Cowboy can be an account of a five-month drive of 3,000 cattle from Brownsville, Texas, to Montana in 1882 along the Great Western Cattle Trail. Even though the book is fiction, it is firmly based on Adams's own encounters on the trail, which is considered by many to be the best account of cowboy life in literature.
