Pinnacle Jake
~ By Nellie Snyder
Yost ~
When
"Pinnacle Jake" was 15 years old he became a "wandering cowboy"
who cast his lot with the Ogallala Land and Cattle Company under Bill Paxton,
and later found his way to the great 101 Ranch. This recollection of his experiences
he has told to his oldest daughter, Nellie Snyder Yost.
This good-humored
collection of reminiscences recalls more vividly than any history
the true
atmosphere of the cattle country of Wyoming, Nebraska, and northern Montana
during
the late 1880s and 1890s. It is a book which will rank with the best of its kind
by
preserving gently, and humorously, and unpretentiously the cowboy's way
of living.
And like a good piece of saddle leather, this is the "genuine
article," with not a shoddy thought in it.
