Description
Told with campfire-story spirit, "The Log of a Cowboy" is one of the best tales of cowboy life ever written. Drawing from his own life as a cattle driver, Andy Adams recounts the adventures of America's frontier. Through such memorable characters as Bill Blades and Bull Durham, we bear witness to gunfights, buffalo stampedes, and cattle drives from Texas to Montana.
