The\r\nvolume is in reality a by-product of my earlier collection,\r\n\"Cowboy Songs and Other Frontier Ballads.\"\r\nIn the former book I put together what\r\nseemed to me to be the best of the songs created and\r\nsung by the cowboys as they went about their work.\r\nIn making the collection, the cowboys often sang or\r\nsent to me songs which I recognized as having already\r\nbeen in print; although the singer usually said\r\nthat some other cowboy had sung the song to him\r\nand that he did not know where it had originated.\r\nFor example, one night in New Mexico a cowboy\r\nsang to me, in typical cowboy music, Larry Chittenp. xden's\r\nentire \"Cowboys' Christmas Ball\"; since that\r\ntime the poem has often come to me in manuscript\r\nform as an original cowboy song. The changes  usually,\r\nit must be confessed, resulting in bettering\r\nthe verse  which have occurred in oral transmission,\r\nare most interesting. Of one example, Charles\r\nBadger Clark's \"High Chin Bob,\" I have printed,\r\nfollowing Mr. Clark's poem, a cowboy version,\r\nwhich I submit to Mr. Clark and his admirers for\r\ntheir consideration.\nIn making selections for this volume from a large\r\nmass of material that came into my ballad hopper\r\nwhile hunting cowboy songs as a\r\nTraveling Fellow\r\nfrom Harvard University, I have included the best\r\nof the verse given me directly by the cowboys; other\r\nselections have come in through repeated recommendation\r\nof these men; others are vagrant verses from\r\nWestern newspapers; and still others have been\r\nlifted from collections of Western verse written by\r\nsuch men as Charles Badger Clark, Jr., and Herbert\r\nH. Knibbs. To these two authors, as well as others\r\nwho have permitted me to make use of their work,\r\nthe grateful thanks of the collector are extended.\r\nAs will be seen, almost one-half of the selections\r\nhave no assignable authorship. I am equally grateful\r\nto these unknown authors.\n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 21723 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Lomax, John Avery \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date\u003c\/b\u003e: Jun 6, 2007 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat\u003c\/b\u003e: eBook \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage\u003c\/b\u003e: English \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Lomax, John Avery,1867-1948 \/ eBook \/ English","offer_id":43217981112477,"sku":"gb-21723-ebook","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/products\/21723.jpg?v=1671461441","url":"https:\/\/booksdeli.com\/products\/songs-of-the-cattle-trail-and-cow-camp-gb-21723","provider":"booksdeli.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
