Summary: Excellent depiction the early day cowboy
Review: Dakota Cowboy is an excellent and authentic depiction of the turn-of-the-century livestock industry. The text is well constructed and provides the reader a true sense of time and space. Every facet of running cattle on the vast Dakota range is documented in full. The description of corporate structure, reliance on horses, theories and general management practices, and other pertinant characteristics of day to day duties make for facinating reading. Highly recommended for anyone with an interest in the practice of ranching, past, present, or future.

Summary: I am Ray Blasingame, son of the author
Review: I am the son of Ike Blasingame the author. This is not a fiction book. Every event and place are true. On the map all the creeks and places are in their correct places as well as the tributaries which run into the Moreau River, and Missouri River. There are 3 million acres of the Cheyenne River Indian Reservation leased by the Matador Land & Cattle Co. of Texas who then sub leased to 10 other New Mexico and Texas cattle ranches, all having seperate brands, (like L7, Turkey Track, and DZ). Chief Sitting Bull died in 1899 but Ike Blasingame bought horse from Sitting Bull's brothers, One Bull and Lone Bull.Ray Blasingame - Paisley, OR

Summary: Excellent depiction the early day cowboy
Review: This book was amazing. The detail on how things were done in those days was amazing. I could not skip one word in this step by step account of Ike's life. He was an amazing cowboy and the drawings that are in this book are truly wonderful and add so much to an already terriffic book. This book is made for a the cowboy and is the best re-ride story I have "heard" in many years.
