Description
|
|
|
|
This tasty "Western Sampler" for all ages features artwork from Cooper Edens' remarkable collection of vintage picture books—one of the largest in the world—set with tidbits of Western literature, from the lyrics to "The Ballad of Davy Crockett" and "Rocky Raccoon" to excerpts from Tom Mix and the Hoard from Montezuma and Pecos Bill Meets Paul Bunyan and Starts a New Ranch. Here you'll find "The Yellow Rose of Texas" illustrated with a comely lass among the roses from a 1912 poster; a Topps bubble-gum card of Billy the Kid by his short biography; an Edward Curtis photo of an Apache next to the words of Joseph Campbell; and a bit of 1950s cowboy wallpaper with a verse of "Mamas, Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Cowboys."
