The famous frontiersman Captain Jim Cook went west in 1872, when he was fifteen years old. At Leavenworth, Kansas, where he was hired to herd cattle, he soon decided to follow some Texas cowboys on their way back south to San Antonio. In the Llano Estacado, Cook became a brushpopper-a cowboy who hunted wild longhorns among the mesquite cactus and chaparral of the brasada, the brush country. With other members of this frontier subculture, he lived in isolation for months at a time, meeting only hostile Indians and desperadoes and pulling cactus thorns from his flesh every day with a knife. Besides the expert marksmanship that he had learned as a child, Cook acquired the Mexican vaqueros' incredible dexterity with the riata and other brush-country survival skills that he describes for his readers. Light sleeping became the young cowboy's habit as he lay among the tarantulas, snakes, insects and human vermin of the brasada. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
