"A genuine cowboy...best of several books of reminiscences by cowboy preachers." -The Cowboy Encyclopedia (1996)
"Will James knew his frijoles." -Guide to Life and Literature of the Southwest (1943)
"Only Will James had written about the work real cowboys did with no audience...and the unsentimental way cowboys expressed themselves." -American Cowboy, Mar-Apr 2007
"Unlike many lovers of range life, James does not idealize the cowboy...stands up for them as his own kind." -Kerrville Mountain Sun, Dec. 20, 1945
Why had cattle rustling or "mavricking" become an acceptable way of life on the post-Civil War Texas cattle ranges? Why had it become every cattleman for himself?
In 1893, "genuine" cowboy Will S. James (1856-1945) answers this question and more about "authentic" cowboy life in Texas in his book titled "Cow-boy Life in Texas, or, 27 Years a Mavrick."
In introducing his book, James writes:
"Everything I have yet seen in print concerning the class of men known as 'Cow Boys' has been of a character to, in a large measure, mislead the public who know them not in their real character; others who have tried to lionize them have so far overdrawn the picture, as to hold them up to the ridicule of the more intelligent thinking classes. I have in the pages to come, tried to portray his character as I know him, leaving out much of the sensational that could have been said, but to no good purpose. I have tried to be not only charitable, but truthful."
About the author:
