A collection of Cowboy Poetry. From the Preface: Cowboys are the sternest critics of those who would represent the West. No hypocrisy, no bluff, no pose can evade them. Yet cowboys have made Badger Clark�������s songs their own. So readily have they circulated that often the man who sings the song could not tell you where it started. Many of the poems have become folk songs of the West, we may say of America, for they speak of freedom and the open.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
