{"product_id":"the-humor-of-the-american-cowboy-9780803273597","title":"The Humor of the American Cowboy","description":"To the cowboy, for whom the world was a circus of creation, nothing was beyond the scope of laughter. His fertile imagination could produce trail drives of dry-land terrapins, cowboy firing squads for fighting game roosters, and a breed of honk-honk birds that could outrun a horse. He used humor to express his fondness for the West, to exchange sarcasms with railroaders, to teach lessons to tenderfeet, and even--sometimes--to laugh at death. \u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eThe Humor of the American Cowboy\u003c\/i\u003e, Stan Hoig presents an authentic collection of tall tales, anecdotes, yarns, jokes, and humorous incidents of the Old West that not only entertain but also focus attention on a sometimes overlooked phase of cowboy life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Stan Edward Hoig\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bison\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/01\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 200\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.48lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.02h x 5.40w x 0.42d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780803273597\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStan Hoig is professor emeritus of journalism at the University of Central Oklahoma.
