About this listen

 The Log of a Cowboy takes readers on a thrilling five-month journey as 3,000 cattle are driven from Brownsville, Texas, to Montana in 1882 along the legendary Great Western Cattle Trail. While a work of fiction, this compelling narrative is deeply rooted in author Andy Adamss own trail experiences, making it a standout portrayal of cowboy life in literature. Frustrated by the unrealistic representations of cowboys in his time, Adams crafted this authentic account as a powerful response. Still widely read today, it continues to captivate modern audiences, with The Chicago Herald declaring it the real thing — a testament to the genuine first-hand experience that permeates every page.
