Sobre este artículo
New York, NY: Bard/Avon Books, 1999. First Edition, First Printing . Hardcover. Fine/Near Fine. Text/BRAND NEW. Bi-color boards/Fine. DJ/NF w/rubs to corner tips & trace surface wear. Memoir of a year's life as a cowboy. In his forty-fourth year, awarding winning journalist and founding editor and publisher of Big Sky Journal, David McCumber quits techology stricken city life for that of a ranchhand on Bill Galt's Birch Creek spread in Montana. McCumber reports the cowboy is alive and well the West, not "of the Hollywood variety", but in terms of his ethics of hard work and respect for weather and land. Changes have, however, taken place ... for one, horses have been mostly replaced by "Japanese quarter horses," otherwise known as four-wheel all-terrain vehicles, and secondly, many cowboys hold advanced degrees in higher learning.
Sinopsis
In February of his forty-fourth year, journalist David McCumber signed on as a hand on rancher Bill Galt's expansive Birch Creek spread in Montana. The Cowboy Way is an enthralling and intensely personal account of his year spent in open country—a book that expertly weaves together past and present into a vibrant and colorful tapestry of a vanishing way of life. At once a celebration of a breathtaking land both dangerous and nourishing, and a clear-eyed appreciation of the men—and women—who work it, David McCumber's remarkable story forever alters our long-held perceptions of the "Roy Rogers" cowboy with real-life experiences and hard economic truths.In February of his forty-fourth year, journalist David McCumber signed on as a hand on rancher Bill Galt's expansive Birch Creek spread in Montana.
