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 P. D. Self. Self was born in 1871 in Hood County, Texas on his father's horse and cattle ranch. From a young age, he rode horses and busted them for his father's outfit. In his interview, he describes ranching horses, including busting broncos, riding yearlings, trail drives. He also discusses gambling, and how he got into hog raising in Burnett County after his father's death in 1905.
