Cowboy Days: Stories of the New Mexico Range

Stephen Zimmer

This book is a collection of exciting stories about working cowboy adventures in the big ranch country of northeastern New Mexico. Set in a land far removed from modern urban life, the cowpunchers in these stories ride the range much as their predecessors did over a hundred years ago. Ride with them through bronc rides, stampedes, and brandings and experience the romance and tradition of the cow country that still lives in the Southwest. Darrell Arnold, Publisher/Editor of "Cowboy Magazine" says: "Zimmer is a life-long student of cowboy history. He knows how to tell a good story and his stories about the day to day adventures of ranch cowboys are as true as have ever been told." And A. J. Mangum, former editor of "Western Horseman" comments: "Cowboy Days" is an entertaining collection, written in the language of the American Southwest and documenting an important part of cowboy culture. This book is something to hold on to for future generations."
