This was not so much like a colorful collection of western fiction but more like short vignettes, stories and novellas about what it was like to be a cowboy.There were many stories, but what I got out of it was a feel for a time and place. Cowboy life was mostly depicted from the point of view of an ordinary range rider, the importance of a chuck wagon, a good horse (which had to be tamed and trained) and the importance of the basic gear. Gear was big deal. So many description of different hats (advantages of various, shapes, sizes and materials), and saddles, and chaps, and bedding, and neckerchiefs and boots, and rain slickers, and ropes or lariats, rifles or hand guns, and the riding, roping and other skills needed and valued; all this and more was covered in bits and pieces in various stories.Also attitudes, it seemed to me that the prevailing view of many of the writers was looking back to a younger self and seeing what had to have been a pretty harsh existence through the eyes of someone who saw this as pure freedom. The western range areas crossed many states from Texas north, the land was not lush and a number of times it was mentioned that at least 25 acres were need to support a cow. Cattle were driven between winier and summer ranges, and the open government land was regarded as rightfully theirs. (This was from the cowboy perspective, very little of the stories concerned the owners). Anything that impinged on the migration was regarded with anything from sadness (a personal sense of loss) to rage. Some disliked the Indians for being in their way or for protecting what had been theirs, some mentioned dislike of Mexicans basically, it seemed, because of language difficulties and cultural differences (though they admired their horsemanship). The personal prejudices did not seem to extend to those they worked with on their team, but to the "others". However, the worst resentment was reserved for those who interfered with their use of the land, like rustlers, like sheepherders (as cattle could not follow sheep, who ate to the nubs), and like farmers and like any hell bred souls who put up barbed wire fences.The cowboy ideal seemed to be someone who was hard working and honest and who pulled his own weight and helped his team, though hot tempered, rowdy, spendthrift, and a loner described many. The teller of tall tales was valued round the campfire and a good cook was prized.Also the cowboy seemed aware of his mystique and in those towns, like bustling Chicago, they might get treated with a bit of celebrity as they swaggered through the areas near the stock yards. The western towns welcomed them as they spent about all they made and the towns usually tolerated quite a bit of shenanigans.The stories made it easy to start and stop. The writing, while not always the best, seemed to be natural and unaffected and brought an era alive to me. I felt this compilation well selected and well worth the read.
If book titles were covered by "truth in advertising" laws, this book would be called Some Fairly Entertaining short Stories About Cowboys. Just about every "cowboy story" by Zane Grey or Larry McMurtry, puts this collection to shame. If you love to read, whatever, buy this book. It reads easy & quickly, but if you love great westerns, read Comanche Moon, Dead Man's Walk, Lonesome Dove & The Streets Of Laredo by Larry McMurtry.
As a collection of "stories", this is okay only if you realize they mean a little fiction and a lot of memoir. As I really wanted fiction, this was a drawback. Even as fiction, it falls short since many of the fiction entries are merely sections of longer works, and do not therefore stand well on their own.
Some of these stories are interesting and hold your interest. Some obviously are lifted from books & are confusing to the reader who is dropped into the middle of a story & dumped out, unsure what it was all about.It’s a great book if you’re interested in what real cowboying was like. Hint: Not very glamorous and damned hard work!
Many different stories by many different with many different author's. Some stories very good, some not so good but all very interesting. Some stories very realistic and some just good fiction.
Most (95%) of these stories are great! And there is a nice variety of story types. I love the diversity. Some are serious, some informative, some are just plain funny. I love that works by Mark Twain, Zane Grey, and Teddy Roosevelt are included! Great read!
These aren't "stories" as in fictional westerns. Instead what you have is a bunch of old-timers telling you about what it was like back in the day. How could anything be better?
This was a great compilation of stories from many different sources. It was enlightening how so many of the authors captured the same qualities of the cowboy life. The authors of these 'yarns' was impressive; from Russell to T. Roosevelt to Mark Twain. The unique quality was the language itself. Oftimes you had to pause and interpret what the words really meant.
