Cow-Boy Life in Texas, or 27 Years a Mavrick (Original

Cow-Boy Life in Texas, or 27 Years a Mavrick (Original Illustrations and Text) (Western Cowboy Classics Book 14)

This is a narrative of cowboy life in a less-sensational portrayal, unusual for the time. Written by a Texas cowhand turned preacher, Will S. James wrote about the cowboy as he really was, poetry & sermons.

This edition of the book contains the 25 (not "over 51," as claimed by the author) original, rejuvenated illustrations.

W. S. James, born 1856, has been described by J. Frank Dobie as a "genuine cowboy who became a genuine preacher and wrote a book of validity. This is the best of several books of reminiscences by cowboy preachers, some of whom are lacking in the real thing as certain cowboy artists." W. S. James should not be confused with William Roderick ("Will") James, who illustrated and wrote many books.

* This e-book is a true representation, from a high-definition scan of a pre-1923 print version of the book. Unlike other e-copies of the book, it was not produced by using Optical Character Recognition (OCR). OCR-scanning old books is seldom, if ever, error-free. This often results in an e-book with many **, ^^, >> and typographic errors when OCR can't read the word or punctuation correctly.

* "True representation" means that if there are typographic, spelling, or grammatical errors that the editor judges to have minimal impact on the book's comprehension, they have been preserved; otherwise, they were corrected.

* In other words, no changes or as few as possible have been made to either illustrations or text in order to bring you an e-book that is as close to the original as possible.
