| 520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC. | |
| Summary, etc | Not a history in the formal sense, this book teaches the truest history of all in the anecdotes and narratives of the open range, which includes all of the great unfenced land, the people who lived and worked on it, and the animals which played so big a part in their lives. Of course, there are stories of superb mustangs and cow ponies, longhorns, and the wild life of the range. There are also chapters devoted to Indians, cattle branding, lost mines, buried treasures, and all the other appurtenances to a "sure 'nough" picture of the Southwest in all its glamour. There is pathos in the tales of white captives brought up among the Indians, humor in such stories as the predicament of Uncle Dick the fiddler, beset by music-loving wolves, and fascination in the exposition of true Western cowboy lore. The Old West is one of the two great romantic eras of this country, and it is part of the heritage of every child and grownup. To the completely uninitiated and to the most West-wise person, On the Open Range will be a source of infinite pleasure and pride in our American pioneer stock -- Book jacket. |
