Descriere magazin:
In 1860, 16-year-old Frank Maynard left Iowa to trail a herd of cattle from Missouri to Colorado, thus beginning his adventures as an open-range cowboy. Overhearing a version of an old Irish ballad in 1876, he reworked it as The Cowboy\'s Lament, recognized today as The Streets of Laredo. His personal account offers a rare and revealing glimpse of the true Old West. In 1870, sixteen-year-old Frank Maynard left his home in Iowa and arrived in Towanda, Kansas, where he soon took a job helping to trail a small herd of cattle from Missouri to Colorado. Thus began his adventures as an open-range cowboy, a ten-year career that coincided with the peak of the great trail-drive era. Among the highlights of Maynard\'s time on the range were brushes with outlaws and encounters with famous lawmen, such as Bill Tilghman and Bat and Ed Masterson (he was in Dodge City when Ed was shot). On one drive Maynard was set upon and chased by irate German homesteaders; on another he narrowly escaped being killed by a man known as Slusher while driving horses from Kansas to Texas. But Maynard\'s most enduring contribution sprang from overhearing a version of an old Irish ballad in 1876 and reworking it as The Cowboy\'s Lament, the standard most recognize today as The Streets of Laredo. His role in adapting the song and his other colorful experiences on the trail have come to light with the recent discovery of his unpublished memoir. Now, alongside the frontier recollections of Charlie Siringo and Charles Colchord, Maynard\'s personal account offers a rare and revealing glimpse of the true Old West.
