Description:
Lincoln, NE: University of Nebraska Press, 1986. First Bison Book Printing . Trade Paperback. Very Good. 5 1/4" x 7 3/4. 115 pages. Exterior shows little sign of weathering; most shelf wear is along the top of the spine. Interior text is clean and has no apparent markings or damages. Includes several photographs throughout. Still wet behind the ears in 1894, Carl Benedict was crazy to get away and work on the range. In the summer, he hooked up with a big outfit called the Figure 8 to round up cattle in the Texas Panhandle. Out of that experience came this book, published fifty years later, about what it was really like to be a cowboy in some ornery country checkered by canyons and gyp water springs.
