The cowboy, one of the greatest fictional characters in American literary history, is more than a man or a myth; he is an identity, the soul of a country that started out as the wild and
unruly and has risen to the civilized and respected. The cowboy represents who Americans thought they were at one of the most pivotal moments in our history. The cowboy is the law and the
outlaw, the problem and the solution. The stories in this book will take you to decades past, with some of the most action-filled and exciting stories ever to come out of the American
landscape.
