Book Description: This classic of cowboy lore including illustrations by cowboy artist William Moyers, first published in 1976, is now available only from the University of New Mexico Press. “A joyous book about cowboy songs and their singers. Arizona’s Katie Lee has been crisscrossing the country for years collecting and singing folk songs and especially cowboy songs. Many of these, often thought to be old and traditional, are comparatively recent and were written by a single person within living memory. . . . Katie Lee sets the record straight. . . . Ten Thousand Goddam Cattle, the title of one of the songs she sings, is written in a breezy, conversational style with a refreshingly unlaundered vocabulary. The text is liberally sprinkled with verses of the songs and there is a separate compendium of songs giving melody and discography and other pertinent information about each.”—Arizona Highways “A beautiful job, exact, comprehensive and witty. Should remain a basic history of the subject for many years to come.”—Edward Abbey “A perfect blend of scholarship and feeling for the country and the people and the traditions. . . . a book to treasure. Katie Lee has matched her fine performing capability with a book that blends verse, prose and music for the most enjoyable single volume on the cattle industry since Frank Dobie died.”—El Paso Times “A joyful, spirited and valuable contribution to the literature and music of the West.”—Sing Out!
