Annotation |
Life in the Old West in frontier days was not all hard work and trouble. Journals, diaries, and early newspapers reveal how cowboys, homesteaders, mountain men, and cavalry troopers spent their leisure time. As David Dary describes in lively detail, it was a time when people enjoyed to the hilt what recreation time they could steal from their labors. Winner of the 1995 Western Writers of America's Spur Award for Best Western Nonfiction.
