by Andy Adams; Introduction by Thomas McGuane
Newly introduced by Thomas McGuane, "The Log of a Cowboy" offers the truest depiction of a cowboy's life and work as well as a classic adventure of the great American frontier.

Summary
A classic fictional chronicle of life on the open trail, THE LOG OF A COWBOY has long been considered the best and most reliable account of real cowboy life ever written.
In the years following the Civil War, sixteen-year-old Andy Adams left his home in the San Antonio Valley and took to the range. Here he charts his first journey as a bona fide cowboy, from south Texas to Montana along the western trail. Guided by his plainspoken, sure-saddled voice and the living, breathing feel of firsthand experience on every page, we relive dusty cattle drives, perilous river crossings, honor-based gunfights, and narrow escapes from buffalo stampedes, not to mention tall tales passed around the campfire and such unforgettable characters as Bull Durham and Bill Blades.

Media reviews
"If ever there were such a thing as an all-time 'best' western, THE LOG OF A COWBOY is it." The New York Times
If all other books on trail-driving were destroyed, a reader could still get a just as authentic conception of trail men, trail work, range cattle, cow horses, and the cow country in general from The Log of a Cowboy.” -- J. Frank Dobie
"Personal and often poignant...'The Log of a Cowboy' is indeed a classic." --Sybil Downing The Denver Post
