HTML: Andy Adams' most popular novel, The Log of a Cowboy: A Narrative of the Old Trail Days, is a painstaking recreation of Adams' own experiences on long cattle drives. Legend has it that the long-time cowboy was disgusted with the overly romanticized Westerns that began appearing on bookstore shelves in the late 1800s and decided to set the record straight with his own account. Scholars and fans agree that the gritty realism of The Log of a Cowboy is second to none. .No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |

The book was first published in 1903, and I don't think it's ever been out of print. That's how GOOD it is. Multiple editions over 120 years is quite a run. My copy is a 2000 edition with a new Introduction by Thomas McGuane, a well-regarded Michigan writer who moved to Montana (Livingston) decades ago and has reinvented himself as a cowboy who specializes in cutting horses. His book, SOME HORSES, is itself a modern classic - and a hoot too.
I thoroughly enjoyed this ol' tome. Andy Adams (1859-1935) is long gone, but his stories live on. Very highly recommended.
