Sinopsis

The Age of the Cowboy, according to historians, lasted a mere fourteen years, yet everywhere today we can see the mark that he made upon this land.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 "cowboyup" 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. You'll marvel at the cowboy's courage and perseverance and come to know him like you have never known him before, through the words that he has uttered or cared about enough that he wrote them down for posterity, as well as the words of scores of novelists, journalists, and historians, including: >Rex Allen Texas >Bix Bender >Buck Brannaman .Calamity Jane>J. Frank Dobie >John Ford >Jane Frost >Wild Bill Hickok >Bruce Kiskaddon>Louis L'Amour >Thomas McGuane >Gladiola Montana >Annie Oakley >Sandra Day O'Connor >Ken Overcast >Theodore Roosevelt >Charles Siringo>Red Steagall >Owen Wisterand >And many moreHere you'll find his--and sometimes her--wisdom, humor, insight, and downright foolishness. From long-vanished plainsmen to rodeo clowns, from famous Hollywood cowboys 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.. NOTA: El libro no está en español, sino en inglés.
