Title: The cowboy
First published: 1922
Description: *From the 1922 Edition's preface:*
The American cowboy, by reason of his picturesqueness, has been a frequent subject for the dramatist, the novelist, the illustrator, and the motion-picture photographer. All these producers have been limited by the technical requirements of their arts, and have stressed the cowboy's picturesqueness to the exclusion of his other qualities. They have done this so definitely and attractively as to create an ostensible type which rapidly is being accepted by the American public as an accurate portrayal of the now bygone puncher.
