We travel with Bailey as he encounters Indians, U.S. soldiers, Mexicans, freed slaves, and cowboys working other drives. The journal contains surprises for readers steeped in romantic cowboy lore and cattle drive legend. Bailey's time on the trail was hardly lonely, and crews included African Americans and, at least on the early drives, women and children.
