Dobie, J. Frank (James Frank), 1888-1964

"Guide to Life and Literature of the Southwest, with a Few Observations"

Y.,
1920. The experiences of a ranchman's wife in Colorado. The
telling has charm, warmth, and flexibility. In the way that
art is always truer than a literal report, _A Tenderfoot
Bride_ brings out truths of life that the literalistic _A
Cowman's Wife_ by Mary Kidder Rak misses.
RICHTER, CONRAD. _The Sea of Grass_, Knopf, New York, 1937. A
poetic portrait in fiction, with psychological values, of a
big cowman and his wife.
RICKETTS, W. P. _50 Years in the Saddle_, Sheridan, Wyoming,
1942. OP. A natural book with much interesting information. It
contains the best account of trailing cattle from Oregon to
Wyoming that I have seen.
RIDINGS, SAM P. _The Chisholm Trail_, 1926. Sam P. Ridings, a
lawyer, published this book himself from Medford, Oklahoma. He
had gone over the land, lived with range men, studied history.
A noble book, rich in anecdote and character. The subtitle
reads: "A History of the World's Greatest Cattle Trail,
together with a Description of the Persons, a Narrative of the
Events, and Reminiscences associated with the Same." OP.
ROBINSON, FRANK C. _A Ram in a Thicket_, Abelard Press, New
York, 1950.
