“A man’s got to have a code; a creed to live by.”
--John Wayne
“Cowboy Wisdom”
A true part of the American tapestry, is the American Cowboy. From the silver screen, to the small screen, to the wide-open frontier of the wild west, it was--and still is--the domain of men who inspire, motivate, and maintain dry powder and a steel work ethic. Next to service in the military, the Cowboy has inspired more young men with a desire to work the open plains, get a job done, and maintain a hearty sense of humor--all while wearing a cool hat, and maintaining a rope and a six gun on horseback.
Author Gerd De Ley captures that spirit with his work: “Cowboy Wisdom: Over 200 Quotes About The Old West (2018, 107 pages, Hatherleigh Press)”. Cowboy greats such as John Wayne, Gene Autry, and Will Rogers appear along side Texas Bix Bender, Abraham Lincoln and W. C. Fields--among others--giving their take on some of the wisdom that inspired and fired the Old West.
Seven great chapters compose this work. Chapters such as “From The Horse’s Mouth”, “Cowpoke Proverbs”, and “What Makes A Man A Cowboy”. Of particular noteworthiness is a chapter on “The Cowboy’s Little Lexicon”. If you ever wanted to know what was what, and why was why, the definition of a variety of words--from a Cowboy’s perspective--will bring more than a few smiles to some faces.
“Leading horses to water is management; Making them drink is leadership.”
