The Pastures of Beyond: An Old Cowboy Looks Back at the Old West
- Used Book in Good Condition
No one is better suited to convey the flavor of the Old West than this authentic American original, whose colorful tales of cowboys, Indians, and the horses they rode have the grace of poetry and the power of myth. At age 13, Dayton O. Hyde, a spirited beanpole of a boy, ran away from home in Marquette, Michigan, to his uncle's ranch in eastern Oregon. This was in the 1930s, and Yamsi was one of the last great cattle ranches of the West. Soon the boy, nicknamed 'Hawk,' was riding a horse, soaking up all facets of ranch life from the hired hands, and winning the cowboys' respect.A natural at bronco busting, he eventually became a rodeo rider, bull fighter, clown, and photographer, working all over the West with the likes of Slim Pickens, Rex Allen, and Mel Lambert-who went on to careers in Hollywood-and selling pictures to Life magazine. After the war, he took over the reins at Yamsi, ensuring its survival in changing times. Now, half a century later, this is his valedictory to that last great period of the Old West. Full of humor, rollicking stories, and love of the land, it is his homage to the cowboys, Indians, and great horses-now riding the pastures of beyond-who made the West the legend it is.
