520 1 $a""Now you have my travels to Kansas [and] back home...Hope it will interest some people." So ends the earliest known day-by-day journal kept by a cowboy on a cattle drive from Texas to Kansas following the Civil War. In this rare firsthand account, Jack Bailey, a North Texas farmer, describes what it was like to live and work as a cowboy in the southern plains in the late 1860s." "Bailey shares many of his inner thoughts and feelings, including his frequent homesickness, and he records his take on many of the social and political issues of the day, such as post-Civil War race relations. The journal also contains surprises for readers steeped in romantic cowboy lore and cattle drive legend: Bailey's time on the trail was hardly lonely, and crews included African Americans and, at least on the early drives, women and children." "In an introduction, western historian David Dary establishes Jack Bailey's identity and puts the journal in historical context. Dary's footnotes help readers interpret Bailey's sometimes telegraphic pose, and two maps allow us to follow Bailey as the drive moves northward into Kansas and then as his party returns to Texas through eastern Kansas, southwestern Missouri, the northwest corner of Arkansas, and Indian Territory."--BOOK JACKET.
