Description
A transcript of a Cowboy Narrative, or Rangelore, interview conducted by Woody Phipps for the Works Progress Administration's Federal Writers' Project in the 1930s with former cowboy T. E. Hines. Hines was born in North Carolina and left home at 21 to become a cowhand in Texas. He describes being very inexperienced when he arrived at the NUT Ranch in Erath County. He later worked at the JR Longacre outfit, the LXL Ranch in the Texas Panhandle, and the KILL Ranch near Demming, New Mexico. He also discusses stampedes, branding, the differences between American and Mexican cowboys, and entering the commission business in Fort Worth. Additionally, he tells a story about a battle between Native Americans and white "coal burners" near Charleston, Arizona.
