The Story of the Cowboy is not a bare record, but a living picture of a type of person often heroic and always interesting. It is also a picture which shows the sweep and majesty of the plains. The level of detail presented in this book about the cowboy's life is extraordinary (adapted from Ripley Hitchcock).[Editor's note: this edition of the book has been completely edited to reflect the original, and has been formatted to accommodate contemporary reading options. The 10 illustrations by Wells and Russell have been as carefully restored as possible.]
