The Cowboy at Work: All about His Job and How He Does It

by Fay E. Ward

Book Overview

One of the best, if not the best, firsthand account written by a twentieth-century working cowboy. His knowledge of the country, combined with his writing and artistic abilities, make this book required reading. - Oregon Historical Quarterly

I would rank The Cowboy at Work among the best books ever written about the American cowboy, maybe the best. Every word Fay E. Ward wrote can pass the tests and cross-examinations of the severest critics...

The Cowboy at Work

This book seems to be a highly athentic account of real cowboy life by a man who actually lived it for most of a life time from the north to the south of the great west.
