The Old Chisholm Trail

32 pp. | National | October, 2001 | Trade ISBN 0-7922-7559-4 $$16.95
(4) K-3 As he herds his cattle from Texas to Kansas a cowboy recounts his woes in rhyming verse: storms, cattle rustlers, Indians, and outlaws. The text is supposedly based on versions of cowboy songs about the Chisholm Trail, but the book as a whole is more strung-together clichés than a fresh interpretation of the past. Acrylic on wood veneer illustrations are cartoonish without being especially funny. A melody line is appended.
