Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ride the Great Western Trail from Texas to Montana with the Lovell Herd of 3100 prime Mexican cattle. Forced to leave Georgia following the Civil War, a Rebel soldier packs up his family and heads west. The youngest boy, Tom, leaves home in 1882 and hires on to one of the Lovell outfits about to receive a herd of Mexican cattle near Brownsville, Texas. Tom's "log" of the journey describes the carefully orchestrated process of forming a herd, outfitting for the trail and the importance of the chuck wagon, remuda and the selection the best available horses for special tasks. The Western Trail went from San Antonio to Dodge but this drive continued all the way to Montana as a special delivery to the Army at the Crow Reservation. Stampedes, drought, flooded rivers, hostile Indians and incredible horsemanship are all present and dealt with in the matter of fact manner expected of Texas cowboys. Indeed, this narrative is so authentic that many believe it is an autobiographical account of author, Andy Adams, and his days as a Texas cowboy.

Book excerpt: Cowboys who drove herds of Texas cattle up the Chisholm Trail have interested readers, both young and old, for more than seventy-five years. Now the true story of trail-driving has been written by J. Frank Dobie, authority on the history and tradition of range life in the West. In the period following the Civil War, longhorns were driven north by the hundreds of thousands each year to be sold in rollicky cow towns and to stock vast ranges taken from the buffaloes. Indians, scarcity of water, floods, lightning, stampedes--these were only some of the dangers confronting trail drivers. There were no fences. Grass was free--and so was life. Among the characters in the book are Joseph G. McCoy, who established the first cattle market in Abilene, Kansas--terminus of the Chisholm Trail Walter Billingsley, who bossed "the biggest trail herd" for mighty King Ranch; and Charles Goodnight and Oliver Loving, who blazed a trail to New Mexico. When he was young, Mr. Dobie knew many old-time trail drivers and took down their stories. Here he gives them, along with a wealth of information and anecdotes concerning the remuda men, chuck wagon cooks, trail bosses, cow horses, bell mares, longhorned steers and other types of trail-driving history. Here is the real story of the real cowboy of the old West at the peak of his career -- Book jacket.

Book excerpt: How did cattle drives come about—and why did the cowboy become an iconic American hero? Cattle drives were the largest, longest, and ultimately the last of the great forced animal migrations in human history. Spilling out of Texas, they spread longhorns, cowboys, and the culture that roped the two together throughout the American West. In cities like Abilene, Dodge City, and Wichita, buyers paid off ranchers, ranchers paid off wranglers, and railroad lines took the cattle east to the packing plants of St. Louis and Chicago. The cattle drives of our imagination are filled with colorful cowboys prodding and coaxing a line of bellowing animals along a dusty path through the wilderness. These sturdy cowhands always triumph over stampedes, swollen rivers, and bloodthirsty Indians to deliver their mighty-horned companions to market—but Tim Lehman’s Up the Trail reveals that the gritty reality was vastly different. Far from being rugged individualists, the actual cow herders were itinerant laborers—a proletariat on horseback who connected cattle from the remote prairies of Texas with the nation’s industrial slaughterhouses. Lehman demystifies the cowboy life by describing the origins of the cattle drive and the extensive planning, complicated logistics, great skill, and good luck essential to getting the cows to market. He reveals how drives figured into the larger story of postwar economic development and traces the complex effects the cattle business had on the environment. He also explores how the premodern cowboy became a national hero who personified the manly virtues of rugged individualism and personal independence. Grounded in primary sources, this absorbing book takes advantage of recent scholarship on labor, race, gender, and the environment. The lively narrative will appeal to students of Texas and western history as well as anyone interested in cowboy culture.
