What If You Met a Cowboy?

(3) 4-6 Adkins attempts to dispel the popular image of the American cowboy--the ruggedly-handsome-adventurous-guy-in-a-white-hat stereotype fostered by movies and television. Nineteenth-century cowboy Jacob Peavey serves as a prototype that exemplifies the realities of the arduous and sometimes brutal world that existed on the Western frontier. Detailed sepia drawings add to the honest, informative narrative. Reading list. Glos., ind.
