Sobre este item
Boston: Little, Brown and Company, 1941., 1941. First edition. First Trade Edition. 8vo. Decorated cloth, xxiii [1], 388 pp., introduction, illustrated, notes, index. Numerous illustrations by Tom Lea. Dobie, "tells of the Spanish conquistadors, who brought their cattle with them; of ranching in the turbulent colonial times; of the cowboy, whose abandon, energy, insolence, and pride epitomized the booming West. He writes of terrifying stampedes, titanic bull fights on the range, ghost steers, and encounters with Indians." "Dobie's book not only gives a history of cattle introduction into the western hemisphere but the history of cattle drives, the nature of the beast that made the longhorn so popular. He does this through gathered anecdotal information in the cowboys' and cattlemen's own language. The book is replete with terms, slang, uses of longhorn 'parts,' connections with Native Americans, comparisons of traits of longhorns and buffalo, as well as more 'modern" cattle.'" Six Score 32 says," One of the true classics of Range Cattle Literature." Fine, bright copy in a sharp price-clipped dust jacket with two tiny nicks to top edge of front cover panel. A sharp copy.
