Hardback m smudsomslag. 183 sider. Flotte fotos og illustrationer. The Plains Indian revered the buffalo, for it was a gift from the Great Spirit, taken from the inside of Mother Earth herself. Accordingly, the Indian killed only as many buffalo as he needed, and wasted nothing: the huge beast furnished him with food, clothing, bed, lodge, utensils, and most of the decorative ornaments that brightened his life. The white man, however, viewed the buffalo as both an impediment to progress and a source of easy capital. Less then one-third of the curly cows he slaughtered were ever used for anything.

Hardback. Det illustrerede, gule smudsomslag mangler!! Så bogen Fremstår med blegrød indbinding og guldbogstaver på ryggen. A True Account of the Bad Men, Desperados, Rustlers, and Outlaws of the Old West- and the Men Who Fought Them to Establish Law and Order. This is a hard hitting, profusely illustrated history of the real, bloody and lawless Wild West, of the hardened criminals that populated it and of the lawmen that hunted them down. This is not the romanticised West presented in so many films, but the real thing. The criminals, men and women, are not heroes (nor even anti-heroes) but ruthless, venal, bloodthirsty, stupid, desperate and even, sometimes, pathetic. The lawmen are brave, certainly, but also mercenary and self-seeking in some cases. This book pulls no punches, and some of the photographs are downright chilling. As published in newspapers of the time, there is a portrait study of Jesse James, dead and laid out for his funeral; of Ned Christie, also dead, propped up against a photographer's board; of the entire Dalton gang, laid out on the sidewalk ready for the undertaker. We also have the grim history of the Old West's premier hangman, George Maledon. But there is far more to this book than a collection of gruesome images. Here are the stories of Wyatt Earp and the OK Corral, of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, of Annie Oakley and Belle Starr, and of many many others, all as told in the newspapers of the day, all illustrated with original photographs and sketches. Extraordinary and fascinating stuff. Highly recommended to anyone even moderately interested in the real story of the Wild West.

Hardback med smudsomslag. 144 sider. Surveys the past and present-day activities, character, and ways of life of the cowboy and the history of the American cattle industry. It might say it's the "Real Story" of the cowboys and cattlemen, but be aware that the author has a definite bias. An entertaining read with some interesting stories, but anyone who was an obstacle for those old-time cowpunchers was labeled or presented in a derogatory fashion (even when their concerns were reasonable and valid, like having their own land trampled by passing cows or their own livestock infected with disease-carrying ticks). The book doesn't only focus on the cowboys of the 1800s, though, but includes a look at the profession up to the time time of publication in the 1970s. Filled with photos and artwork, including paintings by Charles M. Russell and Frederick Remington.
