Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every time a cowhand dug his boot into the stirrup, he knew that the ride could carry him to trail's end. With real stories told by men who were cowboys before the 1930s, this book captures the everyday perils of the flinty hoofs and devil horns of an outlaw steer, the crush of a half-ton of fury in the guise of a saddle horse, the snap of a rope pulled taut enough to sever digits. Whether destined to be remembered or forgotten, a cowhand clung to life with all the zeal with which he approached his trade.
