IKE SAM BflSS. Andy Adams came to Texas from Indiana, a cowboy for to be. For ten years he traded horses in the brush country and drove up the trail to Dodge City and other cow towns. Then he mined fourteen more years. One night about the beginning of this century he saw in Colorado Springs. Colorado, where he was living and continued to live until his death in 1935, a cheap play called The Texas Steer. fit one place in the play an imitation cowboy, dressed in mail order regalia, stepped out and emptied both six-shooters into the air. The crowd went wild. I went to my room. said Andy Adams, wondering how people would like some of the real thing about cowboys. Experiences of range and trail had been soaking in him for twenty years. He was an alert gatherer of words and phrases belonging to cowboy lingo. He began writing stories, The Story of the Poker Steer, and others, subsequently assembled into a book called Cattle Brands. His first novel, The Log of a Cowboy. appeared in 1903. It reads so much like an autobiography that many readers never re- alize that it is fiction. It is a straight-away narrative of a trail herd received from Mexico on the Rio Grande, pointed toward the North Star, and delivered in Montana. There are no women in it. Andy Adams said he couldn ' t put a woman where she didn ' t belong no matter what the movies demanded. Five other novels are The Outlet. Reed An- thony, Cowman, The Texas Matchmaker, Wells Brothers, and The Ranch oh the B eaver. Owen Wister ' s The Virginian is better known than The Log of a Cowboy. It is the story of a cowboy without any cows; it has in it more of drama and more of human nature; but Andy Adams wrote the classic of an occupation.
