A Gripping and Authentic Account of Life on the American Frontier

In the late 1800s, the American West was a land of vast open spaces, rugged landscapes, and countless challenges. It was a time when cowboys played a vital role in the settlement and development of the region. We Pointed Them North: Recollections of a Cowpuncher is a firsthand account of this fascinating era, as told by a real cowboy who lived and worked on the open range.

The author, Andy Adams, was born in Kentucky in 1859. He moved to Texas as a young man and soon found work as a cowboy. For the next several years, he rode the range, driving cattle from Texas to Kansas and other northern markets. In his memoir, Adams vividly recreates the challenges and adventures of this rough-and-tumble life.

Adams writes about the long drives, the dangerous stampedes, and the harsh weather conditions that cowboys faced. He also describes the camaraderie that developed among the men who worked together on the range. Adams's memoir is a valuable historical document that provides a unique glimpse into a bygone era. It is also a gripping and entertaining read that will appeal to anyone interested in the American West.
