Some Babies Grow Up to be Cowboys A Collection of Articles and Essays by John R. Erickson

Erickson's articles and essays have been published in Texas Highways, Oklahoma Today, Livestock Weekly, The Dallas Morning News, and American Cowboy. They are arranged by Place; From Buffalo to Cattle; The Cowboy; Cowboy Tools; Ranch and Rodeo; Animals; and This and That. Many of the pieces are anecdotal, based on Erickson's experiences and observations on ranches. Others required some research and are more historical. Some are essays in which Erickson views contemporary life through the lens of cowboying. But all of them are vintage master storyteller Erickson, told with humor and thoughtfulness.

JOHN R. ERICKSON was raised in Perryton, Texas. After graduating from the University of Texas he studied at Harvard Divinity School. He is author of the nationally known Hank the Cowdog series, as well as several nonfiction works, and with Frankie McWhorter, Cowboy Fiddler in Bob Wills' Band. He lives with his family on his ranch in the Texas Panhandle.
