Bravery was a prerequisite both to entering and to pursuing the vocation. When a man suddenly "lost his riding nerve," as he occasionally did from his own serious illness or from witnessing distressing accident to a loved companion, an accident such as plastered Bud Thompson's face with his brother's brains, he sometimes lost it forever, and with it his calling. Unless unhorsed by this infrequent cause, he rode until he received injury that promised permanence, or he sooner voluntarily retired. Physical injury, ordinarily the gift of bucking, and in the form of hernia, allowed to the average man but seven years of active riding. Once dropped from the centaurs, whether through injury or, much rarer, loss of riding nerve, he still lived on horseback, but regretfully, humiliatingly refrained from "hair-pinning" or "forking" at sight "anything on four hoofs," and restricted himself to such animals as supposedly were not vicious. Courage was needed elsewhere than on the bucker's back or amid the cattle. The cowboy by the nature of his work was required, from time to time, to endure the pitiless Northern...

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Cowboy: His Characteristics, His Equipment, and His Part in the Development of the West The American cowboy, by reason of his picturesqueness, has been a frequent subject for the dramatist, the novelist, the illustrator, and the motion-picture photographer. All these producers have been limited by the technical requirements of their arts, and have stressed the cowboy's picturesqueness to the exclusion of his other qualities. They have done this so definitely and attractively as to create an ostensible type which rapidly is being accepted by the American public as an accurate portrait of the now bygone puncher. The portrait is often charmingly presented, but it is not accurate. The cowboy was far more than a theatric char acter. He was an affirmative, constructive factor in the social and political development of the United States. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Cowboy written by Philip Ashton Rollins and published by Nook Press. This book was released on 2018-07-30 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book discusses what actually made a "cowboy," as well as describing cowboy weaponry, clothing, saddles and equipment; the "cowboy character"; and a cowboy's work. Rollins also describes the history of ranching in the United States, the raising of horses and cattle, livestock rustling, and more. The cowboy has long been romanticized. We seem to feel that the "good" cowboy must be a heroic figure who always has a likeable but bumbling sidekick, and who, against all odds, saves the fair maiden, the bank, the stagecoach payroll, and the entire town, simultaneously, with snap shots of almost unbelievable accuracy from his must-be-hundred-shot revolver, all the while riding his horse wearing his white, ten-gallon hat, strumming his guitar and singing, "Oh, Bury Me Not on the Lone Prairie," in a memorable baritone.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The cowboy has long been romanticized. We seem to feel that the "good" cowboy must be a heroic figure who always has a likeable but bumbling sidekick, and who, against all odds, saves the fair maiden, the bank, the stagecoach payroll, and the entire town, simultaneously, with snap shots of almost unbelievable accuracy from his must-be-hundred-shot revolver, all the while riding his horse wearing his white, ten-gallon hat, strumming his guitar and singing, "Oh, Bury Me Not on the Lone Prairie," in a memorable baritone. If the cowboy wasn't a Good Guy, he had to be a "bad" guy - an Outlaw. You could always tell the Outlaw from the Good Guy - the Outlaw wore a black hat, was named something like "Bad Curly Jack," and was forbidden from riding a white horse: The Lone Ranger's horse, Silver, would never let the Outlaw climb into his saddle! Only a few occupations were open to the Outlaw - rustling cattle, robbing trains, banks, and stagecoach payroll, or stealing the Greenhorn's or City Slicker's stake by cheating at the widly-popular cowboy card game, Go Fish. Rustling cattle was the most popular occupation because if a duststorm or blizzard came up, the Outlaw could always eat some of his booty. Cash ill-gotten by robbing a bank, for example, was easier to transport, but if you were trying to stay warm on a cold, winter night, you couldn't get a long-lasting fire by burning greenbacks. The Outlaw wasn't always bad, either. While he was a deadly shot when shooting at the average man, he deliberately missed the Good Guy. And, even if he kidnapped the pretty bank teller, he would treat her with great courtesy, even in the worst of times. It is not widely known that an Outlaw who rustled cattle AND kidnapped a pretty bank teller would always offer her the choice piece of beef when the blizzard struck and they were pinned down. This book discusses what actually made a "cowboy," as well as describing cowboy weaponry, clothing, saddles and equipment; the "cowboy character"; and a cowboy's work. Rollins also describes the history of ranching in the United States, the raising of horses and cattle, livestock rustling, and more.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although the American cowboy has long been a favorite subject for novelists, filmmakers, and illustrators, too often the picture they paint bears little relation to reality. Philip Ashton Rollins, who lived in the West on and off between 1892 and 1924, set out to create a more accurate portrait of this enduring icon. Based on what he himself witnessed, this fascinating study discusses what exactly makes a cowboy, as well as cowboy weaponry, clothing, saddles, and equipment; the "cowboy character;" and a cowboy's work. In addition, Rollins describes the history of ranching in the United States, the raising of horses and cattle, livestock rustling, and more.

Download or read book Women Writers of the American West, 1833-1927 written by Nina Baym and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 2011-03-01 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Women Writers of the American West, 1833–1927 recovers the names and works of hundreds of women who wrote about the American West during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, some of them long forgotten and others better known novelists, poets, memoirists, and historians such as Willa Cather and Mary Austin Holley. Nina Baym mined literary and cultural histories, anthologies, scholarly essays, catalogs, advertisements, and online resources to debunk critical assumptions that women did not publish about the West as much as they did about other regions. Elucidating a substantial body of nearly 650 books of all kinds by more than 300 writers, Baym reveals how the authors showed women making lives for themselves in the West, how they represented the diverse region, and how they represented themselves. Baym accounts for a wide range of genres and geographies, affirming that the literature of the West was always more than cowboy tales and dime novels. Nor did the West consist of a single landscape, as women living in the expanses of Texas saw a different world from that seen by women in gold rush California. Although many women writers of the American West accepted domestic agendas crucial to the development of families, farms, and businesses, they also found ways to be forceful agents of change, whether by taking on political positions, deriding male arrogance, or, as their voluminous published works show, speaking out when they were expected to be silent.
