The Cowboy in Me: Jane Hilton’s Dead Eagle Trail
Songs, books and films have romanticized the image of the cowboy as an enigmatic hero--a man and his horse, alone on the range. In Dead Eagle Trail, Jane Hilton gives us a glimpse of the man behind the myth, not busting broncos, but simply seated on the edge of his beds, in spartan rooms, in living rooms crammed full of memorabilia, or watching TV next to his gun safe.
