His horse, guns, rope, clothing, sleeping bag; his eating and drinking habits; his attitude toward God, women, bosses, saloons, rodeos; his unwritten code of conduct. A complete manual of rules with regard to every aspect of his job -- cow-punching, fence-riding, bronco-busting, trail-driving, together with a point-blank analysis of cows, bulls, horses, range diseases -- all the minutiae making up the cowhand's daily life are packed into this handsome volume.
