Download or read book Cowboy Poetry written by Hal Cannon and published by Gibbs Smith. This book was released on 1985 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of poems was chosen from among 10, 000 gathered from cowboy reciters, ranch poets and from a library of over 200 published works of cowboy verse. One third of the poems are classics that have proven their vitality by having lived in the hearts and minds of cowboys and ranchers for decades. The remaining two-thirds are new, created within the last few years. "Most cowboy poems speak of real events and people, from bucking horses and cagey cows to old Stetson hats and long winter travels. Although they focus on the ordinary stuff of life, their truths . . . seem no less eternal than those penned by William Shakespeare. Some cowboy poems are bust-a-gut funny; a few are downright dirty . . . most carry an honest, primitive power." --Michael Riley, TIME Magazine
Book Synopsis A Treasury of Nebraska Pioneer Folklore by : Roger L. Welsch
Download or read book A Treasury of Nebraska Pioneer Folklore written by Roger L. Welsch and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 1966-01-01 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Folklore tells us something about almost every aspect of the life of the people. This rich and entertaining collection of Nebraska pioneer folklore, taken largely from the Nebraska Folklore Pamphlets issued by the Federal Writers' Project in the 1930s, is intended first and foremost for the general reader, for the people whose heritage it is. Songs of trail and prairie and of the Farmers' Alliance, white man's yarns and Indian tales, pioneer Nebraska folk customs, sayings, proverbs, beliefs, children's games, cooking, and cures—these "wondrously entertaining kaleidoscopic reflections of the people and environment that were inspirations of the classic literature of Mari Sandoz and Willa Cather—to name two—could be a model for Americana collectors in other states to emulate. . . . A treasury indeed."—King Features Syndicate "Parade of Books."

Book Synopsis Owen Wister and the West by : Gary Scharnhorst
Download or read book Owen Wister and the West written by Gary Scharnhorst and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2015-03-16 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Westerns are rarely only about the West. From the works of James Fenimore Cooper to Gary Cooper, stories set in the American West have served as vehicles for topical commentary. More than any other pioneer of the genre, Owen Wister turned the Western into a form of social and political critique, touching on such issues as race, the environment, women’s rights, and immigration. In Owen Wister and the West, a biographical-literary account of Wister’s life and writings, Gary Scharnhorst shows how the West shaped Wister’s career and ideas, even as he lived and worked in the East. The Virginian, Wister’s claim to literary fame, was published in 1902, but his writing career actually began in 1891 and continued for twenty-five years after the publication of his masterpiece. Scharnhorst traces Wister’s western connections up to and through the publication of The Virginian and shows that the author remained deeply connected to the American West until his death in 1938. Like his Harvard friend Theodore Roosevelt, Wister was the sickly scion of an eastern family who recuperated in the West before returning to his home and inherited social position. His life story is punctuated with appearances by such contemporaries as Frederic Remington, Rudyard Kipling, and Ernest Hemingway. Scharnhorst thoroughly discusses Wister’s experiences in the West, including a detailed chronology of his travels and the writings that grew out of them. He offers numerous insights into Wister’s adroit use of sources, and provides revealing comparisons between Wister’s western works and the writings of other authors treating the same region. The West, Scharnhorst shows, was the crucible in which Wister tested and expressed his political opinions, most of them startlingly conservative by present standards. Yet The Virginian remains the template for the western novel today. More than any other Western writer of the past century and a half, Wister's career merits resurrection.

Book excerpt: Author of the Dakota Lawman series As Nate Love placed the flowers on his murdered son’s grave, he thought that he shouldn't have had a son so late in his life. He wondered who it was would shoot that boy in the back over one damn cow? It was the cruelest of fates, he thought, not to know who did it. A dead boy should be able to tell who it was. There ought to at least be that kind of justice in the world. He knew there wasn't, though. He would have to find it for himself. But how could he do it alone? He wasn't what he once was; he was just old bones now.... That was when he went and wrote a letter to Monroe Hawks—"the meanest son of a bitch that ever lived." When they rode for Hanging Judge Parker, they were respected by the godfearing and the godless alike. But that was then.... Now, both are long past their prime. Both know that soon they are going to be facing younger, stronger, faster men. And both Monroe Hawks and Nate Love know they won't be coming back.... BILL BROOKS "HAS A KNACK FOR STORYTELLING." —Library Journal
