This book has everything you'd expect in a classic western cowboy novel: cattle ranching, rustlers, gunfights, miserable winters, and making the transition from tenderfooting to cowboy. Edgar Beecher Bronson wrote it, and the rest of his popular works, between 1910 and 1917. Great action, cowboy lingo, and great illustrations.

The decades of the 1870s and 1880s were the heyday of the Old West as the world has come to know it in stories and songs, plays, motion pictures, and television dramas. Edgar Beecher Bronson, the real-life prototype of that now familiar character, the tenderfoot from the East, went out where the West began when it began. When he took his first herd of cattle north of the North Platte River, he went into an area "of roughly three hundred thousand square miles [which] held no white man's habitation save the little camp of miners in the Black Hills, and had for its only tenant nomad bands of Cheyenne and of Oglala, Brulä, and Uncapapa Sioux. . . . Bar one ranch immediately on the Platte River to the east of Fort Laramie, I was the first man to carry a herd of cattle into the Sioux country, and there locate and permanently maintain a ranch." The story of Bronson's apprenticeship on the range and his evolution from a greenhorn puncher into an experienced old hand has come to be regarded as a classic of cow-country literature. If almost an excessive amount of excitement seemed to come his way, it "was not because I was hunting trouble, but was simply due to the fact that trouble seemed to take a lot of pleasure in hunting the few plains dwellers of that day in that region--it just came to all of us, in one form of another, in the course of the day's work in the late 1870s and early 1880s."

More than five thousand Negro cowboys joined the round-ups and served on the ranch crews in the cattleman era of the West. Lured by the open range, the chance for regular wages, and the opportunity to start new lives, they made vital contributions to the transformation of the West. They, their predecessors, and their successors rode on the long cattle drives, joined the cavalry, set up small businesses, fought on both sides of the law. Some of them became famous: Jim Beckwourth, the mountain man; Bill Pickett, king of the rodeo; Cherokee Bill, the most dangerous man in Indian Territory; and Nat Love, who styled himself "Deadwood Dick." They could hold their own with any creature, man or beast, that got in the way of a cattle drive. They worked hard, thought fast, and met or set the highest standards for cowboys and range riders.

Since its first limited American printing in 1928, "Recollections of a Western Ranchman" has been largely unavailable and, even when found, affordable only by collectors. Herein is Captain French's original volume in a reader's edition, the story of a man who lived through the wildest years of the New Mexico/Arizona border country to leave us a frontier memoir with a human voice. In the midst of the final astonishing stand of Geronimo and his renegades, French displays a perceptive and balanced admiration for both the soldiers and the Apache tribe. At the siege of Elfego Baca, the author deftly delineates the hero from the bullies. When the outlaw Black Jack steals his horses, the Captain delightedly steals them back. And nobody has written better of Butch Cassidy and the Wild Bunch than French. Finally, his descriptions of ranch life and the Southwest wilderness are those of a natural raconteur who still held to the facts. Never the hero, though often heroic, French saw it all, with balance, perception, and a droll British wit.

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1908 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER SEVEN A FINISH FIGHT FOR A BIRTHRIGHT TO behold the inroads of autumn upon the foliage of a noble forest; to watch a rose fade and see its withered petals fall to earth; to see a beast in its death throes; to witness the last agony of a fellow-mortal, even though he be a stranger and nothing to you in the world--any of these is a sufficiently saddening incident to a man of average susceptibility. Happily enough, therefore, it has come to few men to witness the final dissolution of a people, even though that people be a savage tribe every page of whose history is dark with deeds of barbarism. Such, however, has been my lot, and the scenes, incidents, and characters of the dread spectacle are as fresh on my mind to-day as if they were of yesterday. In the autumn of '77 I bought my first herd of cattle at Cooper Lake on Laramie Plains, west of the main range of the Rockies. The country lying between the Union Pacific Railway and the Platte was then fairly well stocked and the best ranges occupied. But, up to that time, the North Platte River had stood the dead line between the Sioux and the ranchmen, a dead line never crossed by ranchmen, except in occasional trailing parties in pursuit (and usually a hopeless pursuit) of stolen horses taken by the raiding Sioux. All of the two thirds of Wyoming lying to the north of the North Platte River, all of the two thirds of Montana lying to the east of a line drawn through Bozeman and Fort Benton, all of the two Dakotas west of Fort Pierre and Yankton, and all of the northwest quarter of the State of Nebraska--a vast area of roughly three hundred thousand square miles, greater in extent than all of New England with the States of New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia, West...

Since the shocking news first broke in 1876 of the Seventh Cavalry’s disastrous defeat at the Little Big Horn, fascination with the battle—and with Lieutenant George Armstrong Custer—has never ceased. Widespread interest in the subject has spawned a vast outpouring of literature, which only increases with time. This two-volume bibliography of Custer literature is the first to be published in some twenty-five years and the most complete ever assembled. Drawing on years of research, Michael O’Keefe has compiled entries for roughly 3,000 books and 7,000 articles and pamphlets. Covering both nonfiction and fiction (but not juvenile literature), the bibliography focuses on events beginning with Custer’s tenure at West Point during the 1850s and ending with the massacre at Wounded Knee in 1890. Included within this span are Custer’s experiences in the Civil War and in Texas, the 1873 Yellowstone and 1874 Black Hills expeditions, the Great Sioux War of 1876–77, and the Seventh Cavalry’s pursuit of the Nez Perces in 1877. The literature on Custer, the Battle of the Little Big Horn, and the Seventh Cavalry touches the entire American saga of exploration, conflict, and settlement in the West, including virtually all Plains Indian tribes, the frontier army, railroading, mining, and trading. Hence this bibliography will be a valuable resource for a broad audience of historians, librarians, collectors, and Custer enthusiasts.
