Book Review of The Last Cowboys: An Pioneer Family in the New West

The Last Cowboys: An Pioneer Family in the New West
reviewed on + 4 more book reviews


I enjoyed reading about lives totally different from mine and most others, I think. The book was well written and moved the story along; sort of a family biography rather than an individuals'. Those family members seemed to shrug off bodily injuries that would leave most of us permanently turned off their chosen profession, but they could not wait to get back at it. My minor complaint is that the narrative was repetitive in describing the rodeo circuit and I felt I could have jumped into the book at any point and did not need to start on page one in order to follow the story line.
