Trail Back: Epic Verse and Poems of the 1800s

Trail Back: Epic Verse and Poems of the 1800s





A young man's adventures on the Great Plains, Trail Back is filled with all that makes the Old West such a powerful draw to the imagination. From cantina gunfights and Civil War battlefields to lonesome journeys on horseback, this is Plains storytelling at its finest--in verse.

The cowboy poetry book chronicles the journeys of a young man on the Western frontier. Each epic verse is a story in itself and loosely follows the young man through the stages of life, from childhood to old age. Pen-and-ink drawings of Great Plains wildlife and plant life are scattered throughout the book, and help draw the reader into an Old West mindset, as does the writing, which echoes speech patterns and phrasings of the 1800s.
