Presents the verse of a Montana cowboy poet, along with a series of newspaper articles on Old West history, including accounts of the Indian wars and a transcription of Chief Joseph's story.

There is one cowboy poet whose work has the absolute, real, bona fide, gritty ring of experience and truth. Bruce Kiskaddon lived the live. He wrangled, he roped, he rode, he wrecked, he suffered all kinds of weather. He did Not embellish the life. But he remembers and recreates the historic world of the ranch and range of the late 19th and early 20th century.
