Description
About the Book
Groneberg paints an unsparing portrait of his flawed, funny, and sometimes triumphant efforts to become a cowboy. In lean, but passionate prose, Groneberg demystifies the image of cowboy as celluloid hero and introduces readers to the tough and kindhearted men who teach him what it really means.Book Synopsis
In this classic memoir, a young man facing a future he doesn't want to claim has an inspiration--Go West. Tom Groneberg leaves behind friends and family, follows his heart, and heads to a resort town in the Colorado Rockies, where he earns his spurs as a wrangler leading tourists on horseback. Later, Groneberg moves to Montana, where he works for wages at a number of ranches before buying his own ranch. Demystifying the image of cowboys as celluloid heroes, The Secret Life of Cowboys is a coming-of-age story as stunning as the land itself and a revealing look at America's last frontier.
Review Quotes
""Beautiful, brave, and bare, The Secret Life of Cowboys "opens the heart to the callous life of ranching. Tom Groneberg's ... words are like barbed wire, catching phrases, snagging lines, drawing blood."
