The Brave Cowboy
An Old Tale in a New Time
by Edward Abbey
Review this book!
Abbey's nostalgic early (1956) novel is about a rebellious throwback to the cowboy heroes of another age. The anarchistic Jack Burns, who gets himself arrested so he can help his draft-dodging pal break out of jail, is a symbol of the simpler, unregulated life of personal freedom that the Old West represents for Abbey. The novel was made into a highly successful movie, LONELY ARE THE BRAVE, starring Kirk Douglas.

The Brave Cowboy
Jack Burnes is a loner at odds with modern civilization.A man out of time, he rides a feisty chestnut mare across the New West -- a once beautiful land smothered beneanth airstrips and superhighways.And he lives by a personal code of ethics that sets him on a collision course with the keepers of law and order.Now he has stepped over the line by breaking one too many of society's rulus.The hounds of justice are hot in his trail. But Burnes would rather die than spend even a single night behind bars.And they have to catch him first.
