Helpful Score: 1
I enjoyed this depiction of cowboy history from a first hand point of view. (Just a note that this book is completely fiction, even though the epilogue makes it seem like it's a true story. The back of the book has the fiction disclaimer in it.)
Dana W. (SouthWestZippy) -
This historical fiction book is the diary of sixteen year old Joshua Loper. He dreams of becoming a Cowboy and his dream comes true. His Father is off somewhere else to find a job and has to leave behind his worried Mother. Joshua Loper talks about some of the situations and obstacles they face plus the interactions between him and the other cowboys while on a cattle drive. The book is based loosely off a real cowboy. Some of the story line is off putting but it does give a very real peek into the life of a Cowboy on a Cattle drive.
I have been enjoying reading this series.
