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 Eddie McGregor. McGregor was born on his father's farm in Lewisville, Texas and began riding horses at a young age. In his interview, he describes busting horses, "blotted brands", horse riding techniques, train loading cattle, murder, horse breeding and selling, droughts, and stampedes. He worked at his father's ranch, at the Rainer Ranch in Baylor County, on a ranch he owned in Edwards County, and at the Waggoner Ranch in Denton County. He also briefly describes joining a riding competition in a rodeo.
