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 L. E. Smith. Smith was born in New Jersey on a farm, but left at the age of 18 and moved to Kansas and then San Saba County, Texas to work as a cowhand. In his interview, he describes busting horses, stampedes, railroad delivery of cattle, and buying cattle. His primary job on the range was buying cattle from ranches and selling them in Fort Worth.
