About this ebook
In February of his forty-fourth year, journalist David McCumber signed on as a hand on rancher Bill Galt's expansive Birch Creek spread in Montana. The Cowboy Way is an enthralling and intensely personal account of his year spent in open country—a book that expertly weaves together past and present into a vibrant and colorful tapestry of a vanishing way of life. At once a celebration of a breathtaking land both dangerous and nourishing, and a clear-eyed appreciation of the men—and women—who work it, David McCumber's remarkable story forever alters our long-held perceptions of the "Roy Rogers" cowboy with real-life experiences and hard economic truths.

Reviews for The Cowboy Way
1 rating1 review
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5...written with simplicity and candor, this book gives a true glimpse of the "ranching" life in ranching country. A MUST READ for all you wanna-be ranchers...a bit of a reality check should be had by all before wandering off to be "a cowboy"...sometimes it ain't pretty, romantic or clean, but it's the truth, and there's very few books out there that tell the truth about how hard ranching can be. Don't miss it.
