Status Updates From Arizona Ames

When cattle in great herds began to be driven…the cowboy was introduced to the world…He came from the four corners of the United States, and beyond. At most he was a boy not yet out of his teens; but the life of the range, the toil and endurance demanded by cattle-raising, the border saloon, the gambling-hell, the rustler, developed him at once into a man, and one that eventually made the West habitable.

I’m surprised by how racy some of the scenes are as well as the foul language. Interesting how some words have significantly changed in use, too.

Poetic at times but some words oft repeated are humorously obsolete.

Arizona Ames is a character is several of Zane Grey's books. The model western cowboy. He finally finds the right girl in this one. Great story, as usual.
