| Cowboys remind us of a time when
life was simple, when everything was black and white, and when hope lay
upon the horizon like a pale rising sun. We are the heirs to their myth
and to their legacy. We do something because it is "the cowboy way," we
"cowboy up" to adversity, we "cowboy through" a difficult task. Popular
culture has immortalized the Old West through novels, radio, TV, and
films,
and in this volume you will find more than four hundred of the best
quotations
that capture its spirit.
Here you'll find the cowboy's-and
sometimes the cowgirl's-wisdom, humor, insight, and downright
foolishness.
From long-vanished plainsmen to rodeo clowns, from famous Hollywood
icons
who live the good life to working cowboys who lived and died unnoticed,
The Quotable Cowboy gathers together the
best musings on the cowboy
way of life.
