The Outlet
von Andy Adams
Gelesen von Richard Kilmer (1942-2022)
In Outlet, Andy Adams draws on his experience as a working cowboy to recount a cattle drive from Texas to Montana. At the head of the herd is a foreman responsible for keeping the drive moving across a long and demanding trail.
Published in 1905, the book offers a firsthand view of the work and routines of the open-range cattle trade. Its focus is the drive itself: the people, animals, and practical challenges involved in moving a herd overland.
For listeners interested in Western history and the realities behind the cowboy image, Adams’s account brings the trail-drive setting into view through the perspective of someone who knew the work.

Anther good cattle drive tale!
Ancient Aunt
Another good cowboy cattle driving tale by Andy Adams. This one gets a half star reduction only because of the complex legalities of this particular tale (I'm still not sure if I understand the finer points!), but the author's knowledge of cattle, drives, and the west remains superb throughout. As always, this particular Librivox volunteer reader's voice and pacing are perfect for a western story.
