Publication: Sage Books, 1954, Denver

First edition. 8vo. Light green cloth, titles printed in dark green on the front cover and spine, 112 pp., foreword, illustrated. Foreword by Fred Gipson. Illustrated by Harold D. Bugbee. A collection of Barker's best "buckaroo ballads" that portray the spirit of cowboy life on the range. Cowboy poetry at its best! In any of these 111 poems the author gives you rangeland color and tang, history and heroism, character and corral dust, with many a yarn told in rib-tickling rhyme ---- all in the true tradition of cowboy courage and hardihood. A fine, bright copy in a price-clipped dust jacket with minor wear to the spine ends, corners and extremities. A very scarce book.
