Trade Review""Cowboys and Kansas offers . . . a vibrant, fascinating facet of the modern American West. It will have a broad appeal for the general history reader and to the fan of western or range life. To the folklorist and social historian, it is a mother lode of primary source material."" - Lawrence Clayton, Dean, College of Arts and Sciences, Hardin Simmons University
""This is a very enjoyable and instructive collection of writings from a proud native son. Kansans will swell with pride. Others will find fascinating tidbits to compare with cowboy and ranch life elsewhere in the West."" - Richard W. Slatta,
Journal of the West.
