    The American Old West is brought to life in The Log of a Cowboy in a significant but fleeting way. Here is where the cowboy gained his notoriety and admiration, and it is via the story's protagonist Tommy Moore that we are made aware of some of the difficulties encountered during the fabled cattle drive. Run-ins with Indian tribes, cattle rustlers, shootouts, and the allure of "good whiskey and bad women" are just a few of the difficulties Moore encounters, all of which are described with that traditional cowboy swagger. The Log of a Cowboy is frequently regarded as a narrative of Andy Adams' own life after twelve years in the saddle, and even though some liberties were taken, it still ranks as one of the most accurate accounts ever written, contributing to the popularization of the lawless and revered Wild West. Through Moore, we discover the inherent intuition of these frontiersmen, the perils of stampedes, and cowboy slang terms like "drifting" and "cutting." Anyone who enjoys the Old West should read this. Shanghai Pierce, a legendary cattleman, is introduced into this fictional universe via Adams' skillful weaving of stories inside stories. The cattle drives are still an integral part of American society, much like the Pony Express.

    The demand for a market for the excess cattle of Texas at the end of the Civil War was both urgent and widespread. There had been repeated attempts to find a market, and there is proof that Texas cattle were transported to Illinois in 1857. Forty thousand people were transported inland by train after being transported by water from Cairo, Illinois, to the mouth of the Red River in Louisiana eleven years later.The short path, which was wholly contained within the reservations of the Choctaw and Cherokee Indians, two civilized Indian tribes, made it absolutely practicable. The buffalo and the unconquered, nomadic tribes' homeland was further to the west, making this the sole way to the north. The Texas steer that had been sent to the north overwintered and developed flesh similar to that of its original land, developing into marketable meat. At this time, all eyes were on the newly formed Northwest, which was seen as the nation that would provide a suitable market for cattle. The largest annual drive occurred in 1884 when more than 300 herds of cattle, totaling close to 80,000, crossed the Red River. The push cost millions of dollars and required over 4,000 men and over 35,000 horses to be on the path.

    As we continued up the South Fork and its tributaries, passing through Buffalo Gap, which would later become a well-known monument on the Texas and Montana cattle path, there was no shortage of water. Indians attacked us again at Buffalo Gap, and while it was just as fruitless as the first, one of the horse wranglers was wounded by an arrow to the shoulder. Fort Concho, the closest location where medical assistance may be anticipated, was a hundred and twelve miles away from us at that time. There was a chance that a few heads may have gotten away from the Clear Fork range and found their way back to their old stomping grounds, but these would be identifiable by a tally mark that set them apart from those that weren't retrieved for the spring delivery. We endured the slaughter of cattle in isolated and inhospitable locations while the better-class Indians helped to stop the atrocities. Outlets pay the greatest and those sent to market second. The few that did survive were pathetic creatures without ears or tails, and their horns, both root, and base, had been frozen until they drooped in strange directions. The winter of 1885-1886 was the milder of the two, especially in comparison to the previous one.
