And some of what is in here, just don't make no sense except for if you got a sprig a alfalfa a hanging twixt your teeth, a pair a worn down Cowboy boots on your feet, and the smell of leather or horses somewhere near by." Excerpts: Chapter 1 "Nose" " none of us ever asked him what he used to be called since it was a pretty sore subject for him to talk about." Chapter 4 "Dying For Your Beliefs" " the West wasn't nothing but brave men and stalwart women out there a taming the untamed why this wasn't no more based on fact than a buffalo can fly." Chapter 6 "Scratching Out a Living" "Real Cowboys were a might bashful and didn't speak up unless they was spoke to." Chapter 7 "Cowboys are Thinkers" "The actual thing of it is, that a Cowboy is one of God's few creatures what spends most of his life just sitting and thinking." Chapter 10 "Promises of Partners" "Well, a Cowboy's promise, like these partners had made each other to meet again, was always meant sincere, and for that it was trusted." Chapter 11 "God's Pay" "It's times like these when a Cowboy kind of figures God Hisself just needs some entertaining." Chapter 12 "Hop'n and Poke'n" "Cowboy'n is a profession what ain't appreciated for its value unless you been one."

Book excerpt: “The best all-around study of the American cowboy ever written. Every page crackles with keen analysis and vivid prose about the Old West. A must-read!” — Douglas Brinkley, author of The Wilderness Warrior: Theodore Roosevelt and the Crusade for America The open-range cattle era lasted barely a quarter century, but it left America irrevocably changed. Cattle Kingdom reveals how the West rose and fell, and how its legacy defines us today. The tale takes us from dust-choked cattle drives to the unlikely splendors of boomtowns like Abilene, Kansas, and Cheyenne, Wyoming. We meet a diverse cast, from cowboy Teddy Blue to failed rancher and future president Teddy Roosevelt. This is a revolutionary new appraisal of the Old West and the America it made. “Knowlton writes well about all the fun stuff: trail drives, rambunctious cow towns, gunfights and range wars . . . [He] enlists all of these tropes in support of an intriguing thesis: that the romance of the Old West arose upon the swelling surface of a giant economic bubble . . . Cattle Kingdom is The Great Plains by way of The Big Short.” — Wall Street Journal “Knowlton deftly balances close-ups and bird’s-eye views. We learn countless details . . . More important, we learn why the story played out as it did.” — New York Times Book Review “The best one-volume history of the legendary era of the cowboy and cattle empires in thirty years.” — True West
