The Log Of A Cowboy by Andy Adams

A Narrative of the Old-Time Range Life

A spare, journal-like account that follows a crew of cowboys on a long cattle drive across the late-19th-century American West, tracing their daily routines, the hardships of weather, river crossings and stampedes, clashes with rustlers, and the small ceremonies of camp life; the narrative emphasizes practical skills, quiet camaraderie, and the unromantic, often monotonous labor of moving a herd rather than frontier myth, giving an authentic, detail-rich portrait of cowboy work and character.
