If all other books on trail-driving were destroyed, a reader could still get a just and authentic conception of trail men, trail work, range cattle, cow horses, and cow country in general from THE LOG OF A COWBOY.(J. Frank Dobie in Guide to Life and Literature of the Old Southwest)

Narrative about a young man's life as a cowboy on a cattle drive in 1882. Reprint of an account published in 1903, it includes stories of the everyday life of a cowboy, as well as stampedes and other hazards of trail life.
The Log of a Cowboy is a well written adventure of the cow hand's life on an 1800's cattle drive from Texas to Montana. It is a very authentic story depicting everyday life and sometimes the sadness they experienced on the trail.
