Cowboy poetry has helped build and sustain the legend that is the West. This collection ranges from
Montana and the Dakotas to the Prairies and British Columbia to capture the heart of a uniquely
western culture that the rest of the world only dreams about. It paints a rich, honest and sometimes
humorous portrait of a place where the Old West means more than history. Includes memorable poems
of the last century and the best–loved works of contemporary song writers and cowboy poets such as
Ian Tyson, Wallace McRae, Mike Logan and Corky Williams.
