From the Pecos to the Power - A Cowboy's Autobiography As Told To Ramon F Adams by Bob Kennon with Drawings by Joe Beeler
Published by University of Oklahoma Press, c1965, First Edition, 252 pages
From the dustjacket: "One of the last old-time cowboys here tells his own story: his boyhood in Texas, wandering from ranch to ranch in the southwest, the trek to Montana with a trail herd, and his life thereafter among the people and ranches of the area. His account is full of anecdotes, humorous or tragic, which themselves illuninate facets of a way of life that is no more.
Bob Kennon knew the Ketchums, Kid Curry, and Western artist Charles M Russell, who was his friend, as well as many prominent ranchmen of his day.
"Perhaps I am the last living rider of those boys who, in 1896, came up that long trail to Montana from what was then the largest ranch in the world, the Terrazas Ranch in Old Mexico," he begins. And he goes on to ell just what the cowboy business was really like--not only on hte trail and on the range, but in the wild, infrequent visits to town, encounters with camp cooks and titled Englishmen, rodeo performances, and all that belongs to the cowboy's existence. The smell of the bunkhouse and the atmosphere of the range pervade every page.
