Book Reviews of Cowboy Lingo
Book Review: "Tie yer Hats to the saddle and let's go!"
Summary: 5 Stars
Ramon F. Adam's book of Cowboy lingo is a great addition to the growing library of reference books dealing with cowboy culture and the cowboy way of life. This book is great for writers and cowboy enthusiasts alike.Here's why:
The Author Adam's divides his 'dictionary' into chapters, with specific themes ranging terms for cattle, to nicknames for people. Chapters include the commentary of modern cowboys and the author's own observations. (This is NOT a dictionary in the traditional sense, so don't expect a sterile list of terms with definitions or you might be disappointed). =-) Words and phrases are scattered throughout each chapter in no particular order.
Find out for yourself what the words "Buckaroo," "Fence-Stretcher" and "Talk Turkey" mean.
Saddle up, and prepare yourself for an exciting adventure into the ways and words of a Cowboy life!
