revised edition of "A Cowboy of the Pecos"
Release Day:
ROBERT DUVALL graciously praised my book "A Cowboy of the Pecos" as "a wonderful book to read if you want to learn about the life of a cowboy. It's not as romantic as we think!"
Today, this nonfiction book is available again for the first time in a dozen years. After Robert Duvall's endorsement, Rowman & Littlefield reissued it in both trade paperback and ebook.
"A Cowboy of the Pecos" is the story of cowboying on the Pecos River of Texas and New Mexico from earliest trail-driving days to the late 1920s. I've always considered it the best of my 10 nonfiction books. From this volume have sprung several of my novels, include my Spur Award-winning "The Big Drift."
No place better evokes the Old West than the Pecos, which an 1886 newspaper called "the cowboy's paradise." Added one 1880s cowhand, "The Pecos boys were the most expert cowboys in the world."
Be sure to look for the newly updated edition of "A Cowboy of the Pecos," not the 1996 edition.
