Description
A transcript of a Cowboy Narrative, or Rangelore, interview conducted by Sheldon F. Gauthier for the Works Progress Administration's Federal Writers' Project in the 1930s with former cowboy Edward E. Jones. Jones was born in Indian Territory (present-day Oklahoma) and was related to Comanche leader Quanah Parker. He describes his career as a cowhand, which began at age 15. He worked at various outfits, including the BO, JA, and Farmer outfits. The interview covers topics including horse riding, raids by rival outfits and Native Americans, horse racing, stampedes, and what the cowhands did for fun in their spare time.
