Flint Hills Cowboys

The Flint Hills are America's last tallgrass prairie, a green enclave set in the midst of the farmland of eastern Kansas. These rugged hills have produced exemplary cowboys—both the ranch and rodeo varieties—whose hard work has given them plenty of material for good stories. This blends history, folklore, and memoir to conjure for readers the tallgrass prairies of the author's boyhood in a book that richly recalls the ranching life and the people who lived it.
