What is Hashknife cowboy : recollections of Mack Hughes about?

<p><b>"Age and size ain't got nothin' to do with it,"</b> Mack's daddy once said. "You gotta want to be a cowboy." Mack Hughes wanted to be a cowboy, all right, and he was just twelve years old when he went to work for the famous Hashknife spread in northern Arizona. Growing up on the range, Mack lived a life about which modern boys can only wonder. He spins yarns of bad horses and the men who rode them, tells of wild dogs that ravaged young calves, and recalls lonely winter weeks spent at a remote camp-where his home was a shack so flimsy that snow blew through the cracks and covered his bed. Stella Hughes, author of the best-selling <i>Chuck Wagon Cookin'</i> and a cowhand in her own right, has compiled from her husband's reminiscences an authentic look both at Arizona history and at cowboying as it really was. Illustrated by Joe Beeler, founding member of the Cowboy Artists of America.</p> <p>An account of a cowboy's life and activities on the Hashknife Ranch in Arizona during a fourteen-year period in the 1920s and 1930s. </p>
